🎤 "Investment is like a vast ocean, full of different players with various roles. The Investment and Innovation Academy, with its well-structured modules, helps participants understand the entire landscape from both investor and startup perspectives." That's how Vita Galisanskiene, a former participant of the short-term programme, describes it, highlighting its versatility. According to her, investors can tailor and understand their own profiles better, while those considering starting a startup can refine their ideas, learn how they will be evaluated by investors, and understand dynamics within their own teams. 📈 One of the main highlights for Vita was the engaging and practical nature of the Investment and Innovation Academy. She found it invaluable to meet different players, including investors, fund and family office representatives. Direct communication with them allowed her to ask questions and understand their logic in the investment process. 💰 💡Vita also emphasizes that the true value extends beyond the modules. The knowledge gained is already being applied by her, from generating ideas to making investment decisions. Additionally, the one-year free membership at Lithuanian Business Angel Network LitBAN allows practical application of this knowledge. 📌 Join and increase your success rate in investment decision-making and innovation creation. Minimize risks and be the first to find the best investment opportunities. 📆👇We start this autumn!

Singapore's strategic location, robust infrastructure, and supportive business environment have attracted a thriving startup landscape. The government actively backs this ecosystem through grants, tax incentives, and co-investment schemes. Over 1,100 venture capital (VC) funds now operate in Singapore, fueling startups across diverse sectors. This growth has sparked student interest in VC careers, prompting universities like NUS and SMU to offer VC and entrepreneurship courses. They equip students with essential skills to succeed in the VC industry.

New group for Investment and Innovation Academy already onboarding - former participants share practical value and knowledge applied.   At BMI Executive Institute, we truly believe in the necessity of combining theory with hands-on practice. The short-term programme, Investment and Innovation Academy, is real proof of this approach. The 5-module programme equips participants with the skills needed to assess investment opportunities effectively, manage risks, and achieve higher success rates in decision-making and innovation.   Even better when former participants can prove it themselves directly:   "The Academy felt like a hackathon - right from the first session, we started putting ideas on the table, discussing, and selecting them. This intuitive and organic process helped me understand the tools I would need, build my knowledge in the field, and gain valuable insights. The practical experiences provided the structure and guidelines to build on my ideas and solidified my resolve to try on a founder’s hat," shares Lina Daniene, a professional growth consultant and workshop facilitator, who graduated this programme herself.   The Academy organized in cooperation with Baltic Sandbox Lithuanian Business Angel Network LitBAN starts in November 2024 in Vilnius, so it’s the perfect time to check and apply. If you have any questions, Monika Lasiene, Director of Executive Education, will kindly answer them all. #BMI #BMIExecutiveInstitute #25yearsofexcellence #BMI25 #ExecutiveMBA #EMBA #ExecutiveEducation #InvestmentAcademy #InnovationAcademy #Startup #Investors #Entrepreneurship #BusinessGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment #NetworkingOpportunities #InvestmentSuccess #StartupSuccess #PracticalLearning #GlobalNetwork #BusinessInnovation #VentureCapital #AngelInvesting #InvestmentOpportunities #LeadershipDevelopment #CareerAdvancement #InvestmentTips #StartupFunding #InCompany #Leadership #BMICommunity #PracticeBasedKnowledge #InternationalFaculty #LifeLongLearning #Alumni #CareerElevation #ChangeMakers #GlobalLeadership #LeadershipDevelopment #BusinessEducation #BusinessPerformance #AcademicExcellence #LearningJourney #ProfessionalExperience #SameYouOnlySharper

👨🏻🏫 Entrepreneurship vs. Corporate Innovation This Saturday, Frederic Pampus was joining my workshop session at the Master Program at the HSBA Hamburg School of Business Administration to give insights on which corporate innovations can be used to leverage the benefits of startups within SMEs & corporations. 🔑 Key learnings for the international students: 🔵 Why are only 3% of German companies ready for innovations, even though it's a top priority for 83%? 🔵 How can successful innovation be achieved through corporate investments? 🔵 At what point should one resort to venture customer care, venture development, or corporate investment capital? 🔵 And why is the solution not a decision, but a process? 🙌 Thanks for sacrificing quality time with your family, Frederic! 👉 Head over to Frederic's LinkedIn profile to both get the slides and also follow for in-depth insights on corporate innovation!

The atmosphere buzzed with mutual respect and curiosity. Students were eager to glean wisdom from the entrepreneurs, who, in turn, generously shared their insights and experiences. This exchange of knowledge and perspectives epitomizes the essence of the Social Innovation Bootcamp – bridging continents to foster innovation and social impact. 💥 Armed with a comprehensive understanding of their partners' business models, our student consultants are poised to embark on a journey to create meaningful solutions for the remainder of the semester.
