Spark@Vizeum launches in APAC to sieve out hottest tech start-ups

Vizeum has launched Spark@Vizeum in the Philippines. This is a search for the hottest start-ups in Asia Pacific building on the success of the Spark@Vizeum initiative in the UK.Spark@Vizeum will set a client brief and work with tech acceleration hubs in key markets across the region to search for the best new start-ups. The start-ups will be tasked to work on live briefs with some of Vizeum’s top clients with the aim of solving real business challenges.The Spark@Vizeum programme is the evolution of Vizeum’s belief that technology is not only changing everyday behaviour, but should be woven into our thinking when tackling business problems.The Spark@Vizeum initiative will launch first in The Philippines in partnership with IdeaSpace, and will launch in Singapore and Australia later in 2015.“Understanding the impact of technology on the communications industry, its disruptive potential and more importantly how it can be used to help our clients gain competitive advantage should be driven as a standard practice. Launching an initiative like Spark@Vizeum is a step towards integrating great technology and innovation in our day to day interaction with our clients,” Kristian Barnes (pictured), CEO for Vizeum Asia Pacific said.
