Orbit Lead Strategist, Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC)
The greatest value of the Bootcamp was in the good mix of participants background and expertise. The sessions promoted openness and sharing among the participants and mentors; people were not worried to contribute ideas and suggestions. We came away with a defined plan on how to position and implement our solution.
