THiNK BIG Innovate 2011

About the Forum

The THiNK BIG INNOVATE 2011 – an Innovation and Entrepreneurship Forum which has evolved from the annual THiNKBIG Technology Forum brought together leading ICT practitioners from the region and overseas to share on the latest ICT trends and developments with relevance to Brunei. The theme “Innovation…Inspiring and Driving Change” looks at the different ways that innovations driven by technology have inspired change and how entrepreneurs have used these innovations to bring value to society and businesses.
