While, the industries are busy with their own competitions, startups are coming up with disruptive solutions to existing challenges. Join us at MaGIC Sarawak for one-day of immersion into the latest innovations and disruptive business models across multiple industries, delivered by the successful entrepreneurs and leading experts in the field. MAIN SESSIONS: JULIA YOUNGS: RE-THINKING INNOVATION FOR CREATIVE COMPANIES As the leading entrepreneurship development organization for entrepreneurs in the creative industries, the Creative Startups team has built a curriculum that enables entrepreneurs to build sustainable high growth companies. The key to this process is creative thinking and proper planning. Too many teams fail due to lack of innovation, not knowing your customer/market, or gaps in the team knowledge. In this workshop, participants will learn new creative tools to better understand their customers pain and delight in their product. With creative thinking, participants will be better prepared to avoid pitfalls down the road, as well as have the skills to recover from challenges.
