Ethnic Global networks are increasingly becoming an important mechanism helping the country find new markets for goods, new talent for the workforce and new investment opportunities.

For example the newly created network of entrepreneurs TiE founded in Silicon Valley has over 12,000 members in 45 chapters in 10 countries. TiE estimates that its members created over 200 billion dollars in economic wealth in the various communities they serve.

Our success for the future will depend on how we tap into these important networks.
