We all know how tough it is for startups to get the right exposure needed to expand and grow in this cluttered world. So many entrepreneurs are coming out with incredible ideas, but unfortunately lack the support and money needed to market themselves the right way. Networking and co-working spaces are a major push in that arena, but events in the region have also taken a step toward enhancing the startup ecosystem, giving entrepreneurs a chance to expose themselves to the right people.
