Innovating within a company is about intrapreneurship. In this highly competitive AI-driven world, setting yourself apart from thousands of other applicants competing for one job can be achieved when you convey how entrepreneurial you are. By understanding the application of the entrepreneurial mindset and how to choose the right company to work for, you can be identified as an intrapreneur. Someone who aligns with the mission of a firm and is ready to collaborate to make a difference to advance the goals and objectives of a company.

The presentation will be held in room 303 of the Engineering Design and Innovation Building, West Campus. Near the Westgate Building.
