Now in its 20th year, ‘G-Lab’ helps to promote entrepreneurship across Argentina
“G-Lab”成立20年来，帮助促进了阿根廷各地的创业精神
Cambridge, Mass., January 17, 2020—Technisys and Trocafone have been selected to host Global Entrepreneurship Laboratory (G-Lab) projects in collaboration with the MIT Sloan School of Management, founder of the international entrepreneurial program. These two Argentinian companies are poised to expand locally and globally and are interested in exploring how best to take that next significant step. The companies were chosen based on their business models, growth potential, and successes to date.
麻省剑桥，2020年1月17日Technisys和Trocafone被选中与麻省理工学院斯隆管理学院（MIT Sloan School of Management）合作主办全球创业实验室（G-Lab）项目，该学院是国际创业计划的创始人。这两家阿根廷公司准备在本地和全球扩张，并有兴趣探索如何最好地采取下一个重要步骤。这些公司是根据他们的商业模式、增长潜力和迄今为止的成功而选择的。
Teams of MBA students from MIT Sloan—one of the world’s top-ranked business schools—will be working on-site at Technisys and Trocafone throughout January to provide them with high-impact insight and analysis.
麻省理工学院斯隆商学院（MIT Sloan）的MBA学生团队是全球排名最高的商学院之一，今年1月，他们将在Technisys和Trocafone现场工作，为他们提供高影响力的洞察力和分析。
This year marks G-Lab’s 20th anniversary. Since 2000, nearly 2,500 MIT Sloan G-Lab students have worked with host companies on 643 projects at 482 startups in emerging and frontier markets in 54 countries. To date, approximately 30 G-Lab projects have been hosted in startups and companies across Argentina.
今年是G-Lab成立20周年。自2000年以来，近2500名麻省理工斯隆G-Lab的学生在54个国家的482家新兴市场和前沿市场的初创企业中，与主办公司合作了643个项目。到目前为止，大约30个G-LAB项目已经在阿根廷的初创公司和公司托管。
When determining project scope, host companies draw from a broad spectrum of business challenges such as growth, new market entry, pricing, marketing, benchmarking, fundraising, and financial strategy. G-Lab strongly emphasizes concrete “leave-behinds” as a primary component of the teams’ project deliverables. In the process, the MBA students gain real-world experience in creating, developing and running young enterprises with diverse economic infrastructures as well as thinking about the role of politics, culture, and other non-economic variables.
在确定项目范围时，东道主公司从广泛的业务挑战中汲取经验，如增长、新市场进入、定价、营销、基准、筹资和财务战略。G-Lab强烈强调具体的“落后”是团队项目交付成果的主要组成部分。在这个过程中，MBA学生获得了创造、发展和经营具有多样化经济基础设施的年轻企业的现实经验，以及思考政治、文化和其他非经济变量的作用。
Meet the Companies
会见公司
Technisys—an international company with its primary development lab in Argentina—is one of the leading global providers of next-generation digital banking platforms. Technisys’ Platform helps traditional banks transform to digital while jumpstarting challenger, neo banks, and Fintech companies in the cloud. The Platform provides greater ease for launching financial services allowing financial institutions to differentiate and win through structural flexibility, enhanced customer experiences, and seamless engagement with Fintech ecosystems.
Technisys是一家国际公司，其主要开发实验室位于阿根廷，是全球领先的下一代数字银行平台提供商之一。Technisys的平台帮助传统银行向数字化转型，同时在云端启动挑战者、新银行和金融科技公司。该平台为金融机构提供更大的便利性，允许金融机构通过结构灵活性、增强客户体验和与芬特生态系统的无缝接触来区分和取胜。
The MIT G-Lab team is to design a killer feature for the US banking industry and benchmark key digital players in the space (Technisys included) and how that killer feature will position Technisys in the global digital banking market.
麻省理工学院的G-Lab团队将为美国银行业设计一个杀手级功能，并对该领域的关键数字玩家（包括Technisys）进行基准测试，以及该杀手级功能将如何在全球数字银行市场中定位Technisys。
Trocafone—founded in 2014 with offices in Buenos Aires and São Paulo—buys, refurbishes, and sells used smartphones to consumers. The company has already recycled and sold more than 1.1M smartphones across a variety of sales channels: e-commerce, pop up stores, “venta telefónica,” and third-party marketplaces. As the company scales, it is looking to optimize all these channels and build a true omni-channel strategy regarding stock, pricing, and overall customer experience. The G-Lab project focuses on building algorithms and internal tools to allocate stock and define pricing for each of these channels.
Trocafone成立于2014年，在布宜诺斯艾利斯和圣保罗设有办事处，为消费者购买、翻新和销售二手智能手机。该公司已经通过多种销售渠道回收并销售了110多万部智能手机：电子商务、弹出式商店、“venta telefónica”和第三方市场。随着公司规模的扩大，它正在寻求优化所有这些渠道，并建立一个真正的全渠道战略，关于股票，定价和总体客户体验。G-Lab项目的重点是构建算法和内部工具来分配库存，并为每个渠道定义定价。
Action Learning
行动学习
“Across Argentina, smart people are running good companies and looking to create more good jobs,” says MIT Sloan Professor Simon Johnson, the former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund who co-founded the program in 2000. “Over the past twenty years, it has been a privilege – and an education – for our students to find ways to be helpful. Everyone returns to the United States impressed with the energy and intensity of the CEOs in these companies.”
“在整个阿根廷，聪明人都在经营好公司，并希望创造更多的好工作，”麻省理工学院斯隆（MIT Sloan）教授、国际货币基金组织（imf）前首 席经济学家西蒙•约翰逊（Simon Johnson）说，他于2000年共同创立了这一项目。“在过去的20年里，我们的学生有幸找到帮助他们的方法，这是一种教育。每个回到美国的人都对这些公司CEO们的精力和强度印象深刻。”
G-Lab—based on the MIT Sloan Entrepreneurship Lab (E-Lab) model launched in 1992—is one of 15 pioneering Action Learning labs available to students at MIT Sloan. While project activities vary, they are united by common themes, including experiential, reflective, and peer learning; faculty mentoring; real-world problem solving; knowledge transfer; and, perhaps unique to MIT Sloan, a student team engagement intended to have a measurable business, which often includes a social impact. These real-time management challenges bring theory to life.
基于麻省理工学院斯隆创业实验室（E-Lab）模式的G-Lab于1992年推出，是麻省理工学院斯隆学院提供给学生的15个先锋行动学习实验室之一。虽然项目活动各不相同，但它们是由共同的主题统一起来的，包括体验式、反思性和同伴学习；教员指导；现实世界的问题解决；知识转移；也许是麻省理工斯隆学院独有的，学生团队的参与旨在产生可测量的业务，通常包括社会影响。这些实时管理的挑战给理论带来了生机。
