November 16-22 is Global Entrepreneurship Week — a week-long festival that celebrates and cultivates national and global entrepreneurship ecosystems. Global Entrepreneurship Week helps people from every walk of life connect to the support they need at every stage of their entrepreneurial journey. During this week, the American Center in Moscow is hosting events designed to help business students, beginner entrepreneurs, and experienced businesspeople explore their potential as self-starters and innovators. 

To mark Global Entrepreneurship Week and to connect, inspire, and help Russian students, start-ups and entrepreneurs, the American Center in Moscow invites you to a lecture by Dr. Shubha Ghosh, Syracuse University College of Law, on November 19 at 6 pm MSK.

About the lecture: Our new technological world allows possibilities for entrepreneurial activity. Internet connection ignites these possibilities. The law can provide the fuel for furthering one’s entrepreneurial goals. At the same time, we need recognize the cooperative necessities in competitive markets. The pandemic has demonstrated this constructive push both in the search for a vaccine and therapies and in confronting the lockdown.  Human ingenuity thrives even as new technologies allow for the trans-human through biotechnology and artificial intelligence. 

About the speaker: Dr. Shubha Ghosh earned his J.D. from Stanford University, with distinction, and his Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Michigan. He earned his B.A., cum laude, from Amherst College. Prior to joining Syracuse University College of Law, Ghosh taught at the University of Wisconsin Law School as a chaired, tenured professor and co-director of the Innovation cluster, consisting of faculty in the law and business schools.

Ghosh also works through the state-funded New York State Science and Technology Law Center (NYSSTLC), an entity that guides entrepreneurs, start-ups, universities, and research centers in New York State and beyond. His extensive research focuses on the development and commercialization of intellectual property and technology as a means of promoting economic and social development. Ghosh is also a frequent blogger and commentator in webcasts and webinars, including the JOTWELL section on International & Comparative Law; Hedgehogs and Foxes, a blog on law and popular culture; and the webcast series for SIPLI and the Technology Commercialization Law Program.
