Tomorrow we will be holding our first Ideas MeshUp Workshop in Beijing. Held in English, the workshop is aimed at bringing entrepreneurial people together to share their cool ideas for a mobile app to make life easier and better in China.
To kick off the session, Peng T. Ong, a Partner of GSR Ventures and co-founder of one of the first and biggest online dating sites, Match.com will share his inspirational entrepreneurial journey.
Next up, the boys from Wodache.com, a corporate car sharing mobile app will talk about how they came up with the idea to reduce China’s pollution and problems from car traffic. Problems like pollution, stress and time wasting are definitely a much needed problem to be solved in China and will really make life easier and better in China.
The fun part of the day will come from the interactive workshop where attendees will break up into small groups to pick an idea and brainstorm the problem to solve or opportunity to gain. Since mobile apps and smartphone technology has come a long way, there are a number of amazing functions and features to think about. How about NFC, augmented reality, GPS, accelerometer, maps, light, social networking integration to name a few! Then teams have to sketch out what the app will look like and how it will work. We will then judge the best idea and award some prizes, but of course the thrill of bragging rights is a greater honour!
