“How to Come Up with a Great Startup Idea”

​Why this event matters

​
The journey to launching a startup starts with the right idea—but not just any idea. Many aspiring founders get stuck or rush into ideas without validating their potential impact or market fit. This session will guide you through practical methods to generate, assess, and refine ideas that can turn into successful ventures. Learn how to avoid common traps like chasing trendy ideas without substance or building solutions without a clear market need.
