In a world deluged with irrelevant information, Clarity is Power says one thinker. If there is one power to absolve the world of its problems, it is called Innovation, says another.
Another “I” for India is Innovation.
The world’s largest democracy has always believed in working towards the future as one world, together. Supporting this need for innovation, the Prime Minister, of India, Mr.Narendra Modi has advocated a platform of self-reliance, called ‘Atmanirbhar India’
The iconic Apple corporation launched its world famous “Think Different” campaign featuring Mahatma Gandhi who once owned soccer clubs in South Africa to promote the concept of Non-Violence! He was innovative and always led by example, from the front. His innovation gave India, freedom.
WSIS and the young thought leader, Aditya Panchpande, who envisioned WSIS draw their inspiration from the Mahatma. Through this exclusive, starting on Gandhiji’s 151st birth anniversary, the World Student Innovation Summit 2020 brings together innovative minds and agents of change across the globe.
These inspirational people will converge on a single platform to inspire and equip young students with innovation and entrepreneurship skills. The theme of this summit is to deliberate on how to provide an ecosystem to nurture innovators, change-makers and thought leaders of tomorrow. It will equip young students with skills like innovation, creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, and build an entrepreneurial mindset in them.
The summit aims to inspire & encourage students to ask questions, be creative, think outside the box using various innovation tools and techniques like design thinking to come up with innovative solutions & ideas to problems/issues faced by their families, communities and even global issues and make the world a better place.
