task

The task was to introduce Executive MBAs to three different innovation hubs (Singapore, Israel, and China) during a two-day online sprint. We chose these locations to provide a fresh perspective compared to more mainstream ecosystems like Silicon Valley. Our focus was on exploring the differences in approach, focus areas, and business culture/environments. We curated three business examples from each region to exemplify their unique characteristics. This immersion allowed the Executive MBAs to gain valuable insights into emerging markets and non-traditional startup landscapes. The task aimed to foster cross-cultural understanding and critical thinking while broadening their perspectives on global innovation ecosystems.
