Nongsa Digital Park (NDP) became a strategic partner for one of e27’s events, named e27 Academy. The program hosted at Nongsa Digital Park, 28th – 30th November 2018, where all participants and guest speakers stayed at the Turi Beach Resort with rooms facing the sea, a pool, and a fitness center. It was an event that allowed the participants to had a relaxing and rejuvenating time yet a learning and networking time all together that made this program so interesting that they can call this a working holiday.

e27 Academy is a three-day learning program that is designed to help aspiring and early-stage start-up founders build their companies and navigate the ecosystem, while e27 itself is an established regional platform for news, community, events, talent, and funding related to the start-up ecosystem or an event. Up to 300 early-stage founders, trainers, and mentors from Indonesia, Singapore, and the rest of Asia were joining this event. They got the theories, frameworks, and experiences into tools that they will be able to apply immediately.

The e27 Academy is an effort to empower Southeast Asian entrepreneurs with the tools they need to succeed in an exciting but increasingly challenging world of start-ups. The on-site program featured talks and workshops with noted founders from across the region, allowing the participants to rub shoulders and connect with seasoned entrepreneurs.
