[MIT Kuo Sharper Center @MITKuoSharper]

As we welcomed our global community to Cambridge for the annual Innovation in Global Growth Markets: Prosperity Through Entrepreneurship Conference, the day started with excitement about what’s to come next as we unveiled our new name:

The MIT Kuo Sharper Center for Prosperity and Entrepreneurship.

Our new name is not just a rebranding. It’s a reaffirmation of our commitment to our values and to our ever-growing community. And we are dedicated to bringing this global community together and being part of our mission to define The New Calculus for Global Prosperity.

Thanks to the commitment and generous gift from Sayuri Sharper, SB ’81, SM ’82, and Craig Sharper, SM ’80, to the Center—this new milestone reflects an expanded vision—positioning the center as a home for advancing entrepreneurship as a pathway to deeper economic agency and prosperity in global growth markets.

With the backing of the Kuo Sharper family, the center will accelerate its efforts to support more entrepreneurs, strengthen innovation ecosystems—positioning growth markets as engines of opportunity, dynamism, and abundance.

In the words of Sayuri Sharper:

“Entrepreneurship is about resilience, community, and the power to shape the future” “This center will be a space—where bold ideas turn into impactful businesses and where collaboration drives lasting prosperity.”

Introduced by Dina H. Sherif our Executive Director at The MIT Kuo Sharper Center, we welcomed on stage Dr. Georgia Perakis, John C Head III Dean (Interim), MIT Sloan School of Management, and Professor Dame Fiona Murray, Associate Dean of Innovation at the MIT School of Management and Faculty Director of MIT Kuo Sharper Center for Prosperity and Entrepreneurship, who reflected on the center’s evolving role.

"It's a moment for growth markets to shift from aid to agency - taking control - making choices and influencing the direction of travel that can lead to prosperity." - Professor Dame Fiona Murray.

“We’re living in an exciting era. The place is here, the time is now for Growth Markets. We’re dedicated to bringing this global community together to become a part of The New Calculus for Global Prosperity ” said Dina H. Sherif.

A flexible and cost-effective, yet secure, way to invest in #gold is #poolallocatedgold where a pool of clients invests in a serial numbered #goldbullion. Clients can buy and sell their shares any time or can redeem the gold physically once reaching a minimum required volume.

[Evolve Holding @EvolveHolding]

Opting to invest in #allocatedgold means that one owns a #goldbullions tied to serial number stored in #EIH’s specialized and secured vaults. Our clients can choose to redeem the #gold to have it safely delivered to them or they can choose to sell it at any point.

Investing in #goldbullions is the most common form of #goldinvestment, however there are more alternatives to #goldbacked investments. Read more about the various types of gold investment and their benefits here: https://t.co/PW4QQ90AqQ

[Evolve Holding @EvolveHolding]

#Goldbacked open-end #mutualfunds are a type of #investment allowing a pool of investors to purchase certificates with no minimum lockup time directly from their banks and brokers. New investors can join the pool at any point, which increases the #fund net asset value.
