Success stories/activities

Since August 2012, some of the incubation students have successfully materialised their dreams by opening their own businesses and companies right after their semester ends and some upon graduation. A fraction of these students have attained angel investors (whom they meet during incubation talks and networking sessions) to invest in their business after several consolidation (of their business plans) are made and some have made initial discussions with government organizations due to their work on application (Apps) in the areas of education and entertainment and tourism. Overall, most incubation students are more self-reliance and have proven to be more resourceful.
