Why TSM South Korea?
What motivates you to join TSM?
TSM gathers like-minded people who are passionate or have experiences in start-ups, particular in the technology sector. This allows us to learn effectively from one another, and also for me to gain insights from everyone, be it from my peers, or the companies we visit.
A subsidised trip, having fun learning, being able to travel, gaining new insights. What can be better than that?
Why pick South Korea?
South Korea is among the world’s most technologically advanced and digitally-connected countries. Even traditional family operated small businesses that are usually resistant to change are slowly going digital, providing more advanced services. That explains a lot about the technological progress in South Korea, and definitely a place we can gain lots of insight from.
Internship Opportunities
What types of internship opportunities interest you?
Being a business analyst or IT consultant in fun and creative technology start-ups. I would also love to hone my skills in any other business roles, such as marketing, sales, strategic planning that will be allow me to gain valuable experiences and aid me in my future start up.
Starting a business
Types of business that interest me
Businesses that involves social media and are travel - related; are creative and manage to differentiate their product in an existing established industry.
What plan do you have in starting a business? (list existing business)
I have always been interested in starting up a business I call my own. However, it has always been “action and no talk”. Only in SMU, where they provide many opportunities to encourage students to be creative, venture out have I started making baby steps. Together with Lee Jin, we are currently taking part in the SMU innovation awards 2013, in hope to get funds for our business idea, TravelSmart. This travel-related application that we hope to launch in the future aims to aid people in their itinerary planning when travelling.
