The Program That Flips Innovation Upside Down
Most innovation fails by solving the wrong problem. CIE Spark is a mandatory Problem Validation Sprint that trains PES University students to find, validate, and fall in love with problems before building solutions. Spark focuses exclusively on problem discovery and validation — solution-building is reserved for the follow-up program, CIE Ignite.
