Hello robaina-ga,
Thank you for the clarification. I?ve located a collection of
technology entrepreneurial associations that are either industry or
government oriented. There are many other technology entrepreneur
centers associated with universities that I excluded although the
lines between academia, industry and government in these centers are
sometimes a bit blurred.
I hope that the collection of associations/organizations I?ve found
will meet your needs.
All the best.
