Why TSM?
What motivates you to join TSM?
I am very excited about Technopreneurship Study Mission (TSM) because of its unparalleled focus on technology-driven entrepreneurship and the chance to explore Silicon Valley. My participation in the Global Innovation Immersion program (GII) in Southeast Asia, under the SMU Institute of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (IIE), was a transformative experience that ignited my passion for entrepreneurship in emerging markets.
I am eager to deepen my understanding of cutting-edge technologies and disruptive business models, thus I believe that TSM was next for me. With Silicon Valley being the heart of innovation and technology, I am excited about exploring Silicon Valley's dynamic startup ecosystem and learning from industry titans.
I am also looking forward to meeting like-minded individuals who are also interested in entrepreneurship just like I am, giving me the opportunity to share and develop ideas from individuals from different backgrounds and different experiences.
Where would you like to visit?
IDEO - Ever since I've watched IDEO's shopping cart video in classes, I have always been fascinated by the processes they use to generate ideas to improve products and experiences. I would love to see their headquarters and witness their brainstorming session first hand!
Apple - Being an Apple fanboy all my life, I am very eager to visit the Apple Park; seeing where all the innovation of the latest technologies take places. Visiting the park would certainly be a once in a lifetime experience.
