This week during our 'Design and the Market' lecture we were introduced to part one of our assignment. We were told that we needed to write a 1,500 - 2,000 word enterprise proposal. The proposal would also outline the research that needs to be produced over the Summer.
We were also introduced to 'NESTA' -which is the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts - an independent body with a mission to make the UK more innovative. They invest in early-stage companies, inform policy and deliver practical programmes that inspire others to solve the big challenges of the future.
The company doesn't work alone, instead their success depends on the strength of the partnerships they form with innovators, policy makers, community organisations, educators and other investors. They strive to bring the best ideas, new flows of capital and talented people together and encourage others to develop them further.
We were given a worksheet from the NESTA programme as an exercise to prioritise our own individual values as a method of building them into the plans of a potential business.
