Entrepreneurship Workshop

Overview:

During this workshop, approximately 30 participants will be divided into work groups based on their professional backgrounds to explore the early stages of starting a business in a simplified, miniature format. Each group will tackle:

  • Identifying a business opportunity and crafting a basic business idea
  • Assessing the market and exploring risks and rewards on a small scale
  • Creating a brief business plan and outlining a method for its basic validation
  • Planning short pitches for stakeholder engagement

The session will culminate in each group presenting their business idea to a panel of invited experts. The aim is to simulate the business development process in a basic, scaled-down manner, without the expectation of extensive results. The group with the most effective business proposal will be recognized with an award.
