INSITE's annual Technology Entrepreneurship & Institutions Conference concluded Tuesday, June 10 at the Pyle Center. Cutting-edge academic work presented at the event addressed two key questions:
1) How do specific webs of laws, rules, and norms influence technology entrepreneurship?
2) How do efforts to promote technology entrepreneurship themselves influence long-term changes in the institutional settings in which it occurs?
The conference was organized by Anne Miner and Brad Barham from UW--Madison. Other key contributors included INSITE faculty and WAGE collaborators: Jon Eckhardt, Jermey Foltz, Sanjay Jain, Phil Kim, Gaunming Shi, Masako Ueda, and Jonathan Zeitlin.
Conference Advisors included:
Paul Hirsch (Northwestern)
Daniel Kleinman (UW-Madison)

Marie Thursby (Georgia Tech)
Lynne Zucker (UCLA)
