Unique Innovation and Enterprise Curriculum to Be Launched In Singapore Schools



Frans Johansson, author of The Medici Effect, in partnership with Genesis Education Holding Pte Ltd and High Achievers, has created coursework that incorporates entrepreneurship and innovation into high school and college curriculums. The innovation coursework was created as a way to meet Singapore's challenges of global economic development and international competition.

The Innovation Strategy curriculum was launched May 28, 2008 when Frans Johansson gave the Keynote Address at the Teachers' Conference 2008 at the Singapore International Convention & Exhibition Centre, Suntec City to over 2000 educators.

"My mission in Singapore was to show teachers how to use the principles of The Medici Effect in the classroom to inspire and develop innovation strategies at the intersection of ideas by utilizing concepts from different cultures, fields and industries for their Singaporean students." says Frans Johansson, author of The Medici Effect. "For governments to compete in the international market place, it is imperative to show the next generation their diverse fields, cultures, and backgrounds can drive innovation to new levels."
