POW! Had the pleasure of hosting (HTU EXPENT2024) the rocketpitch closing event for HTU’s flagship innovation and entrepreneurship bootcamp, a key pillar in the learning journey of each and every learner at HTU. Where all learners engineering and tech, go through an exciting fast paced mind shifting entrepreneurial experience ,, to identify globally relevant problems, verify how painful they are to size the opportunity, design solutions, and verify the potentional of the customer segement actually buying the solution to let those painful problems go away and how viable the business model behind those solutions are .. all before actually building the actual solution. I made all teams deliver a 60-sec pitch on stage after their elaborate pitching sessions with the judges earilier, and it was AMAZING 😊👻🤸🚀 I believe all higher education instituions should copy this pillar but with its mindshifting Pedagogy right out of the playbook of Al Hussein Technical University (HTU) And i cant but be super proud and super grateful for the amazing HTU learners for the amazing experience i had working with them 😊🙏 #entrepreneurship #innovation #Youth

We are excited to unveil the 10 finalists, together with our partners, EduSpaze and Amazon Web Services (AWS). And if if that is not exciting enough, here are 3 reasons why you might like to join us to understand the potential of Edtech, particularly in Asia. ✅ High demand for online learning and digital skills.
