The Asian Institute of Management (AIM), together with Bonifacio Global City (BGC), announced its pioneer Innovation Fellowship Program for start-up entrepreneurs, marketing professionals, business school students, and aspiring innovators.

Through the partnership, AIM and BGC will build an ecosystem of innovators, which will serve as a platform that will enable companies, entrepreneurs, and communities alike to respond in a quick and flexible way to environmental changes, as well as exercise collaboration to deliver greater impact and value-providing solutions to the current and future challenges of the city.

In the Fellowship Program, driven individuals will undergo a one-month transformational journey hinged on Formal, Social, and Experiential Learning, mentored by professors from AIM and subject matter experts from BGC. BGC will also provide live innovation cases for students, where they can take on challenges and see opportunities for growth and development.
