0Training for Innovative and non-conventional models of financing SME’s – videos and materials
“Innovation is not about finding what is missing in the market and then inventing it. Innovation is about inventing the market.
Good entrepreneurs come up with things which are not needed. Things which people still don’t know that they need. Things which they have to convince people that they need.
Can you imagine yourself without a laptop, a phone, a car, even without electricity? None of these things were necessary, but maybe the world would’ve been a worse place without them.”
With these words Mr. Sam Vaknin have marked his speech in the training “Innovative and non-conventional models of financing SME’s.”
