Is the use of technology as an
integral and key element in the
transformation of goods and
services
“
A technopreneur is an entrepreneur who is
technology savvy, creative, innovative,
dynamic, dares to be different and take the
unexplored path, and very passionate about
their work. They take challenges and strive to
lead their life with greater success. They
don’t fear to fall. They take failure as a
learning experience, a stimulator to look
things differently and stride for next
challenge. Technopreneurs continuously go
through an organic process of continual
improvement and always try to redefine the
dynamic digital economy.”
