Launching The Entrepreneurs Of Tomorrow

As the prospects in Pakistan’s job market continue to look bleak and unexciting, more and more people, and this includes an increasing number of fresh graduates, are moving towards the entrepreneurial opportunities available to them. In order to promote this trend, the Institute of Business Administration, IBA and its Entrepreneurship Society, IBAES, has organized the Spark’11 event, with CIO Pakistan and PC World Pakistan as its Technology Media Partners.

 

Spark’11, like the IBAES provides a launch pad to students who wish to challenge the “status quo and take risks and challenges” to start their own businesses as trained entrepreneurs. Through a series of keynote sessions, interactive workshops and creative activities, the three-day Spark’11 conference hopes to prove to be “a stimulating crash course in the right way to start a new business venture and the various issues every entrepreneur must face.”

 

Furthermore, the conference will also guide all the participants through a step-by-step process on how to start a business, the sort of groundwork that must be done before the business is ready to be launched, how to deal with any changes that might occur in the economic scenario which could adversely affect their startup and finally how to turn their entrepreneurial venture into a success.

 

To do this, some of the presentations that will be conducted at the conference will be; ‘Hitting upon the Winning Idea: Spinning the Roulette Wheel’, ‘Financing the Startup: Unearthing the Monetary Wells’, ‘Conquering the Storm’, ‘Rocket Pitch Presentation in Main Venue with Mentors and MT’, ‘Entrepreneurship in an Internet Economy’ and Entrepreneurship: Reality Check. Two workshops titled ‘Creating the Realm of Idea’ and ‘Sales Cheetah’ and two panel discussions, ‘The Social Enterprise’ and ‘Dodging the Minefields’ will also be hosted at the conference for the benefit of the students.

 

Spark’11 aims to “ignite in all its participants the will to do more and go beyond being sedentary corporate slaves” while at the same time allowing budding entrepreneurs a reality check on what to expect when they launch a venture of their own.
