About the INNO Talk concept

An INNO Talk takes approximately an hour. It has an overarching theme, and consists of two keynotes (one resent, and one more experienced), who are interviewed by a moderator, in a structured yet informal manner. The framework for the interview, for the benefit of the audience, springs from both the business and personal development that the keynote has undergone.

INNO Talks seeks to provide inspiration and advice from experienced entrepreneurs who are on equal footing with the new/inexperienced entrepreneurs, and future entrepreneurs listening. An INNO Talk always leave room for questions from the audience, and following dialogue with the keynotes, in informal and social settings.
