That was one of the most unforgettable and exciting event I went to this year! Am not going to talk about every important thing they've said cause I'm BAD at remembering things, just going to talk briefly on it and my thoughts about it.
You could know more things about it from: http://www.icsaudi.org/eng/index.html
But just so you know it talk about...
"the importance of technology innovation and entrepreneurship as drivers of sustained economic growth and prosperity."
And I could actually see the remarkable efforts for making this conference like the different brochures that talks about the conference program, speakers and tracks, also the amazing speakers who came from outside the kingdom just to share their knowledge and experiences.
Anyway among those awesome speakers I chose to talk about the most inspiring two, the first one is from day 1:
*Mr. Esko Aho (Nokia's Executive Vice President - corporate relations responsibility)
If one thing Mr. aho did for sure is making the delegates and everyone who heard him talking respect Finland even more cause he mostly used he's Finland as an example of a country which planed to make entrepreneurs out of their citizen and they succeeded! and in his opinion the main thing was by raising the people there to respect the knowledge and the teachers, he said this job considered in Finland one of the most respectful jobs and people actually think it's an honor to teach and educate others and the other reason is how they've combined the talent and the skills.
He also mentioned the five rules to success on starting a business, which is:
1. Revolutionary technology
2. Right timing
3. Right talent
4. Risk taking capacity
5. Right type of ecosystem
And finally I would never forget these words of his "entrepreneurs plan themselves and prove their plans would make results"
The other speaker was from day 2:
*Mr. Saeed Amidi (founder, president and CEO of "plug and play tech center")
Honestly having the opportunity to hear mr. amidi talk is great not only because he's one of the most influent entrepreneur but also because the company he build "plug and play" basically helps other entrepreneurs so you could only imagine the amount of experiences and stories you could hear from him! and starting from the communication skills he got to he's great advice for any entrepreneur who want to build their own techno startup cause that's what he do! he told us how he worked with Google and android and drop box and how he watched them grow everyday!
and frankly I love finding out myself how such a man became like this or how a business grew, what are their secrets, this way you believe in it way more than if someone gave you these steps or rules and tell you to follow them.
He also said it's important that if you were to work or want to make a startup you need to communicate with the Silicon Valley!
There are some of his most inspiring words:
"Entrepreneur has to have the urge to succeed"
"You have to FEEL entrepreneurship not only read about it! " And that's what I'm dying to accomplish!
"In tech business you have to execute fast or someone will fly by you"
"Take some disadvantages and turn them into advantages"
It's great how much you could learn from people like these! And am happy for being able to attend this conference, it was great, inspiring and hopeful!, sorry I couldn't find a video of the conference would be great if someone has it anyway I hope you liked the few things I said about it. :)
