"individuals have taken the space for innovation in Singapore by storm - and the sector is growing
"What do you do when you grow up?" This is probably the most common question you get from any member of the family, friends of the family and head stroking adults in general. It was a question I want to answer when I was 10 years old. The possibilities were endless. But I wondered why adults love this question. It was because they found the need to deal with our responses passing fancy, or is it to remember what was for themselves?
Unfortunately, as I will in adult life, something happens along the way that eventually rob us of our inherent propensity to imagine and create value. Call it the education system, parents or the economy, but throughout our long educated, we were invited to form -. A defined career paths, fixed models of thought and modes prescribed for a living, not a life
This is more common in Asian countries where Confucian values ??of obedience and collectivism can be worshiped. It is therefore difficult for me and others to come "alive". The risk is that blind conformity - a life of unfulfilled potential and purpose Unfound
But life is like trying to succeed in a start-up. Many environmental factors are needed to increase this probability. How to start a business, the first step is often the most difficult, it takes courage and a level of stubbornness. Once taken, the rest, as they say, is history. Life is exciting and the opportunities are taken to the next level.
In 2010, while working at the Skoll Foundation in Palo Alto, California, I met in San Francisco hub. This is an area of ??10,000 square meters in the old building of the San Francisco Chronicle. In this area, there were about a hundred business leaders and non-profit organizations, investors and ecosystem impact manufacturers, innovators and students working together on their own ideas, the creation of companies that have a positive impact on the world. Some talked with animation, others attend workshops begin. In one corner, an investor is launched, and the other team was a conference call Ghana. Overall it was a kind of energy that could make anyone believe that anything is possible, and it is normal to live your passion and do something good for the world, even at a young age. I quickly realized that the hub is a global community, a co-working space and platform events for individuals and teams using entrepreneurial approaches to sustainable impact. Existed in 30 cities, but there were none in Asia. Shocking. 400 interviews After eight months of coffee and long hours of research space building, fundraising and community, first in Asia HUB was founded in May 2012 in Singapore. I chose Singapore because of his hunger was new and even more innovative, to be a center for social innovation. In addition, if it's done in Singapore, the region will continue. But Singapore has its own challenges. For decades, success has been defined through a lens rudimentary capitalist and where his success as a nation lies in its efficiency and compliance - which is said to be the richest country in the world in 2050 New and his passion has always been frowned upon. Singapore HUB doors were opened for five months in a variety of what we call "purpose-driven individuals." Ranging from technical to social entrepreneurs, bankers, filmmakers, related iners-Googlers. Ago a space for any discipline, but any discipline. Intention is the main problem with filtering Hubber - no status, level of education, wealth or profession. space of 5,400 square meters in the heart of Orchard, style life and the main street entertainment in Singapore, it quickly became home to outliers. 200 strong ties, businesses, foundations and government agencies begin to enter the hub of business ideas for Hubbers meet and have an informal conversation with Chris coffee (we have a coffee house barista headed by former racer, Chris).
The vision is for the community to grow to 1,000 members in two years. Which is 0.0002% of the population of 5 million. A drop in the ocean, perhaps, but most movements, ecosystems and innovations start with a small group of individuals. The Hub aims to serve as an incubator for new ways of thinking, unconventional careers, find innovative solutions and great ideas. It is a safe place for failures and successes.
common curse the individual is under the assumption that the options are limited to the availability of options existing when the advance and progress of humanity is based on decisions that have not yet been devised. As adults, we can not accept the infinite possibilities that we felt when we were kids?
