In this course, you will experience the process of creating a new service or product from idea to implementation. You might even be able to bring a project to life. Most importantly, though, you will work on your mindset and learn how to work constructively with failure.

• You will experience the creation of a new service or product, from the initial idea to its implementation.

• You will learn through hands-on experience alongside industry professionals.

• You will work in a team with people who are passionate about innovation, and who are committed to achieving the best possible results.
