Upcoming sessions
How to Come up with a Great Business Idea
Successful businesses need two things – a quality idea, and great execution. But what is a quality idea and where do they come from?
Ideation and opportunity spotting aren’t magic, but a science that can be learned. At these two practical sessions, Natasha Triay (Student Enterprise Manager), Ozzy Amir and Marc Simpson (New London Agency) will give you the tools and knowledge to unearth a killer idea for your own business.
