Bi-monthly forum

[Andrew LIM]

we have had an interactive and interesting discussion last week on the "Teleuse@ Bottom of the Pyramid " by Prof Rohan from LIRNEasia (http://www.nus.edu.sg/nec/events/tvf/2007/tvf_rohan191007.htm). Session by Aileen Sim of First Meta and Stanley Han of PEM was also filled with interesting questions from the crowd and spontaneous reply from the speakers.

We could see more discussion after the talk at the refreshment area and we were greatly encouraged by the responses from the participants.

The next series is expected to take place in Jan 2008 and we are getting together very interesting speakers to share on IDM but more from a social angle and how we individually and business can benefit from these experience.

More details will be furnished in due course ... ...

We also put together 8 awards to provide support for market validation of prototypes to promising start-ups and research teams. More details at http://www.buzzcity.com/dma/

Till then, cheers...
