This is the question that participants of Creatoyo 2021, an annual one-week interactive event organized by the Department of Global Innovation Studies (GINOS) Toyo University Japan, in collaboration with MOSAIC, the creativity and innovation hub from HEC Montreal, Canada and BETA from Strasbourg University, had to work on in a team setup. For this Creatoyo 2021 Business Innovation Award program fully designed and delivered on-line by encognize, the 5 teams competing for the award could get expert insights and learn from professionals drawn from the entire innovation ecosystem in Japan (Corporations, startups support structure, coach, VC...). Knowledge sharing sessions from the selected Business Innovation Award mentors covered themes such as how to define your market, the importance of developing soft skills, design thinking and related tools, PR/FAQ innovation mechanism, the role of VC and key criteria for a VC investment decision. 3/1/2021 Welcome 2021!Stay Collaborative, Stay Creative.2020 has been obviously a very unsettling year for many businesses and organizations.
encognize was no exception and had to implement the necessary organizational adjustments as the pandemic was spreading globally. Thus we are proud to share in these first days of 2021 that we've been able to achieve a lot in 2020 despite an adversarial context: new projects, new Japan X-Tech Force contributors, new services... Therefore, we would like to thank again here our customers, our business partners and all our supporters without which we could not have gone so far in 2020. 2021 has finally arrived; let's now look forward... While we don't know exactly how the "new normal" will look like, one thing is for sure: more than ever we will need to stay collaborative and creative in order to deliver on our mission to advance responsible digital X-Tech innovation from and to Japan. So, Happy New Year 2021 and... stay safe!
