Accelerator Programme and Master Class in Innovation Sessions Young Innovators Pitching Session 14:00-15:45, WorkSpace @ the OpenSpace Wednesday, November 20 The Young Innovators Accelerator Programme is specifically designed for the winners of the Young Innovators Competition. It aims to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge to jump-start their enterprises and take their start-up companies to the next level. For the duration of ITU Telecom World 2013, the winners will be closely supervised by their mentors, who will organize interactive workshops and one-on-one sessions. In addition, within our Master Class of Innovation local and international partners such as Expara, Hubba and ICN Business school will organize sessions on a range of highly-relevant topics including Design Thinking, Scaling of Social Enterprises, Go-To-Market Strategies for Start-ups, and PR on a Low Budget for Start-ups. All the sessions will touch on the central themes of social entrepreneurship: enterprises responding to the needs of a community, future thinking, and designing in a sustainable way with forward-looking ideas. The climax of the accelerator program is the Pitching Session taking place on November 20th in the InnovationSpace WorkSpace, where the winners will pitch their ideas, and the winners of the 2012 Young Innovators Competition will report on their progress.
