To answer these questions and others, read on to learn of OPEN’s NOVA Initiative to jump start your product development journey.
Are you a student and think you might graduate with cool ideas for something you want to build and maybe even build a business around it? Or perhaps you're a few years into your career and want to take the entrepreneurial plunge with your brainchild. Either way, it’s important to know what you’ll be getting into if you want to build a truly world-class product, and it will certainly be a lot more than only knowing how to design and build it.
Step inside OPEN’s NOVA Initiative to learn all about how to develop new products that can stand and compete on the global stage.On the other hand, if you represent an engineering, science, or design faculty at a university or college, join OPEN’s NOVA Initiative to see how your institution can help its graduates leave well-prepared to take on the challenges of new product development without having to spend valuable years learning on the job.
Nova Course
Aimed squarely at accelerating understanding of what it takes to develop new products for global markets:
The NOVA Course is targeted at students in engineering, science, arts, and business colleges, and its FREE of charge! Learning the full spectrum of disciplines involved, can take five to eight years if left to natural “immersion” on the job. Now, with nearly eighty years of combined experience in developing and bringing products and technologies to market, M. Salahuddin Khan and Imran Khan, two of OPEN’s founders, will take the lead in delivering learning modules that will significantly shorten the learning curve and position attendees to better leverage opportunities to develop, productize, and globally market their ideas.
