Caught between fantastic business ideas but hazy design thinking, and vice versa? Solve it all this Saturday on the third session of the ‘Entrepreneur Talk Series’.
Even if you have a great business idea, due to the lack of creative reasoning or incentive for implementation, the idea simply rests there before being rejected by the brain. Well, no more of that as it is exactly what Hult at IOE’s third episode, “Creating Business Idea and Design Thinking ” is going to help you prevent.
The Hult Prize, also recognized as the Nobel Prize for students, is a year-long, global competition that challenges young people to solve the most pressing issues of the world by creating innovative social ventures. This year’s theme is Redesigning Fashion and the participants are eager to learn more about it.
The third episode, “Creating Business Idea and Design Thinking” will converge on having the participants get viable ideas for the competition and introduce them to design thinking. Attending it will be particularly interesting for those who have yet to finalize their idea and need help generating the final product in order to win the competition.
The first two sessions of the ‘Entrepreneur Talk Series’ were loved by the audience. They focused on introducing the attendees to entrepreneurship and guiding them into forming their dream teams. This one is also expected to draw large crowds and get a positive response from the mass.
There are a lot of hands-on making the Hult Prize at IOE possible every year. Some of the collaborators this year are MSecurity as the security partner, Daraz as the e-commerce partner, NMB Capital as the silver sponsor, Masta Kala as the title sponsor, Protozoa host as the hosting partner, Entrance Cafe as the venue partner as well as Impact Hub, Taskade and Digital Ocean as the general sponsors.
