Led by Project Manager of AFOSP Yacinta Esti W, the workshop was attended by more than 20 young entrepreneurs from Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei Darussalam, the Philippine, Thailand, and Japan. The workshop was started with an explanation about how to generate ideas for entrepreneurship endeavor. Yacinta presented real case about how to see business opportunity from the trend and current issues. She emphasizes the importance of triangulation. She said: 

"Never trust on one source. You have to triangulate. You have to have confirmation. How to triangulate? Listen and ask. By listen(ing), you will receive information. By questioning, you will confirm whether your idea is valid or not."

 Once the entrepreneur have the business idea, they need to validate the idea. Determining the objective of the business and doing SWOT or PESTEL analysis are two necessary processes to be done in validating business idea. Java Fresh, Sarjana Tani Jaya (STJ) Farm and Ur Farm are perfect examples of how validating business ideas can be very effective in growing a business.

These interactive process gave the opportunities for the participants to know each others' businesses and expand their networking.

After the group work, they were required to pitch their business ideas under three minutes restriction to Yacinta who acted as the potential donor for their business ideas. In this role playing session, the participants learned how to attract potential investors in any kind of situation.
