IDEAS Workshop information (reminder)
The Innovation Development Early Assessment System (IDEAS) can be applied easily to assess the opportunity, the risks and the complexity of commercialising a new business idea. This one day workshop is intended for individuals or businesses that have an idea for a new product, process or service and are interested in applying an assessment tool to determine its commercial viability.
IDEAS has been developed and is delivered by Associate Professor Jack English from the Australian Innovation Research Centre. The IDEAS workshop is interactive but does not include group work and your idea can remain strictly confidential.

Where: Peppers Seaport Hotel, 28 Seaport Boulevard, Launceston
