Ideapad
IdeaPad is a niche event located at the 12th WIEF Exhibition that gives a sneak peek to the world of startup business. IdeaPad provides an important platform for aspiring entrepreneurs with innovative ground-breaking and world-changing ideas to capture the interest of potential clients and investors from across the globe. The IdeaPad in Jakarta 2016 comprises a panel discussion on equity crowdfunding, bringing together the first ever licensed equity crowdfunding operators in the ASEAN region to help boost the funding options for startups in ASEAN. The event will also host 5 carefully selected startups, who will take the stage to pitch in front of a panel of judges. The IdeaPad will culminate with the announcements of a regional startup award for ASEAN.
The session on equity crowdfunding will pitch the licensed operators with start-ups to create an intense dialogue on the nook and crannies on how startups can benefit from this funding platform to commercialise their business. For the selected 5 startups, they will be given 5 minutes to pitch their business on stage, followed by a 10 minute Q&A by the judges to let them explain more about their idea. The investors will then pick who they might want to invest in or work with. The last session on ASEAN regional start-up award hopes to plug in the start-ups into a single community where they can be recognised, where they can work with each other and get a vast array of support from funding, coaching and media relations.
Last year’s IdeaPad session attracted a total number of 385 attendees, and received a lot of interest from the investors. If you are any of these groups of people, you will benefit greatly from this year’s IdeaPad at the 12th WIEF in Jakarta:
