Week 1
Today was our first TSM class. As we all know, this module is about the technopreneurship (technology + entrepreneurship). Being someone who is always interested in entrepreneurship and aspire to become an entrepreneur, I am looking forward to the weeks ahead and trip to learn about the start up scene in Korea-Seoul and Japan-Tokyo. Over the years, the Singapore government has been supporting young start-ups. However, in my opinion, I think the best way to learn is to travel to another country that has a different culture from what you experienced.
