In this clip, Raya Bidshahri, the founder of Awecademy and School of Humanity, an online high school with an interdisciplinary curriculum, where learners develop skills and mindsets by solving global challenges, elaborates on the importance of networking, how founders can network and document it and the possibilities arising from being interconnected within and outside the industry one aims to penetrate. She also emphasises the importance of establishing oneself as an expert with deep expertise within one specific area by writing medium articles, attending conferences and giving Ted talks and how this may contribute to developing a solid network.
