COURSE DESCRIPTION: In today's world, every successful product begins with a simple idea. However, not everyone possesses the knowledge and skills to turn their ideas into tangible products and bring them to market. This course is designed to bridge that gap by providing you with a step-by-step framework to create and sell (if you want) your own product, regardless of whether or not you have a formal business background.  The course "Turning Ideas into Marketable Products" is an immersive and practical learning experience that will help you turn your creative ideas into products. Through a combination of theoretical knowledge, speaker events with entrepreneurs, and hands-on exercises, you will gain the essential skills and insights needed to develop a product from your idea.
