BLOG 3: Lecture Series

In order to make a real impact on society and the environment, we need brave entrepreneurs and leaders who are willing to take bold steps ahead of the curve. Additionally, we require innovative business models that create true value for society and the environment, while also providing a competitive edge for companies and the potential to transform entire industries globally.

In this blog post, I will discuss what I learned from attending a lecture series program and how it relates to our discussions about the Business Model Canvas (BMC) and why startups should utilize it. The BMC is a valuable strategic management and entrepreneurial tool that enables you to describe, design, challenge, invent, and pivot your business model. It breaks down your business model into easily-understood segments, allowing you to recognize and act on areas that can be improved. Utilizing the BMC can help your team understand your business goals and attract clients by clarifying what your business does and how it will continue to succeed in the future.

On April 19, 2023, the GEE16 lecture series program provided a unique opportunity to learn from diverse speakers from different industries, including high-level speakers from industry and academia. The event featured speakers from our university, the Intellectual Property Technology Business Management Office (IPTBM), and the startup industry. The lecture topics ranged from Intellectual Property Rights and Technology Transfer to Incubation Program Opportunities and the Startup Ecosystem, providing valuable insights and perspectives on innovation and entrepreneurship.
