TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION PIONEERS (DED)​

Situation

Our research of the technology innovation ecosystem showed that there has been limited awareness of the programme and its strategic aims. The challenge facing Technology Innovation Pioneers was one of awareness; greater publicity was required to raise awareness of the world-class standards of the summit and its programmes, promote the Technology Innovation Pioneers brand, and engender greater understanding of the important role it plays in driving innovation on a global scale. Additionally, Technology Innovation

Pioneers sought to drive applications from startups and boost engagement in the entrepreneurial community, as well as attract partners from organisations in various sectors.. Another critical goal was to engage target media to attend and support Technology Innovation Pioneer’s functions.
