Synopsis
This course provides students with the building blocks to think creatively, to recognize new opportunities arising from technological innovations, and to effectively employ strategies and techniques to act on these opportunities in order to develop a new venture.

To this end, participants will be introduced to ways of setting up businesses, developing business plans, establishing teams, developing prototypes, preparing presentations, financing projects, and marketing their products and services to their target audiences. Upon completion of the course students will be more confident in identifying and tackling the many risks and challenges that come with embarking on a new undertaking.
