Petra Business School (PBS) recently held the PBS Capstone Showcase, a strategic platform for students of the Global Entrepreneurship and Innovation program to demonstrate their creative business ideas and product prototypes. This event was a crucial moment for second-year students to validate their business concepts before examiners, industry practitioners, and potential investors.
In addition to serving as an exhibition, this event opens up opportunities for students to obtain direct funding support. This initiative is part of PBS's curriculum to bridge the academic world with competitive and dynamic market realities.
Director of Petra Business School, Devie Deviesa, Ph.D., emphasized that this program aims to produce visionary, innovative entrepreneurs, not just short-term business actors. PBS's primary focus is to instill a strategic mindset so that its graduates can provide real solutions to future challenges.
As a strengthening measure, PBS requires every student to register a patent for their business ideas before moving to the commercialization stage. This policy was adopted to guarantee product originality and provide intellectual property protection for students in collaborating with potential investors.
