Idea to product

Out of 3000 ideas, hundred will evolved into ten major projects of which only one will become a product. It is so amazing that people, just like you and me, can come up with such brilliant ideas and eventually turn them into marketable products. Haven you ever thought of inventing something? I think it is an extremely satisfying moment to see people who appreciate and use the product one has invented.

Why am I suddenly talking about ideas and inventions?? Cos I was so inspired after the idea to product competition. This is the first time the competition is held in Asia. The main competition will take place in Texas at the end of the year. So the organizer is actually selecting teams from Asia for the international competition.

Some of the ideas include transparent braces, wireless storage device, mobile gaming by movement of the phone itself etc. The teams actually have patented their inventions!! Totally kool. Imagine holding a patent to something. Anyway, besides having brilliant ideas, the teams need to sell their ideas. That is where presentation skills come in. Most of the presentations were very clear and a layman like me could understand. Simple and informative is what presentations should be. I will be having a presentation soon. Stressed. To the big boss and other colleagues. Will keep in mind to have a simple presentation.

So who won? The team from Singapore with their transparent braces. Aesthetic market is HUGE. Everyone wanna look good. Big money if the product does take off.
