Put your ideas on paper and compete with your peers. You don’t need any formal business knowledge and you can enter on your own or as part of a team.

“We now have belief in our idea, and ourselves, and believe that if we focus on it, we can succeed.”

“I have a link here for a TED talk by Prof. George Whitesides, a legendary chemist from the US. He is talking about a diagnostic kit technology developed in his lab for applications in the developing world. The simplicity of the whole idea is inspiring for any person interested in the sciences. Ideas such as this do a lot for me, I am hoping it might do the same for others. ”
