Overseas study tour in Singapore

Overseas education & internship program for MBA students from India

 

January 2020

Every year, WASABI Creation hosts several groups of students from India ​for their overseas education & internship program in Singapore. Luckily, in January before all the boarders closed, we hosted a group of 28 MBA students from Suryadatta Institute of management and communications, Pune India. Over a week-long program, the students worked in groups on research and making proposals to 3 Singapore SMEs in areas such as business development, overseas market expansion to India, Indonesia, and Japan.

They attended a lecture on Lean Startup at Block71, the heart of Singapore's startup community. The students also visited interesting places such as Unilever Headquarter, Google, Singapore City Gallery, Tiger Beer Factory, and some sightseeing too.

Virtual Learning Program in Singapore

Going Online! Virtual Entrepreneurship Workshops for Japanese Students

 

July 2020

It's disappointing that overseas study tours all come to halt due to travel restrictions globally, but nothing will stop students from learning. Together with our education partners, we have started Virtual Entrepreneurship Workshops for various Japanese universities. A breakthrough in our program is that the workshops are conducted 100% in English by Singaporean instructors with minimal Japanese support. Certainly, it was challenging for many, yet being able to communicate your business ideas to an international audience would be the prerequisite for doing overseas business.

Find out more (Japanese) on what are the topics, methodology, and online collaborative tools we use for identifying problems, formulate ideas, building prototypes, and pitching, all happening in the virtual space.

Subtitle translation & Copywriting

Singapore Award-winning Animation Film, Subtitle support

 

June 2020

WASABI Creation worked with award-winning Singaporean Animator & fimmaker, Mark Chee by providing Japanese subtitle for his latest animation work, GUNKWORLD.

GUNKWORLD is a short film about a horror cult cartoon series on TV where the main characters: Gunkman, Sallysweets and Roboji, are cute monster schoolchildren who terrorize human characters. Outside of the TV show, GUNKWORLD begins to advertise its brand through commercials and merchandise, which quickly gains popularity at an unholy rate. 

With our Japanese translator & copywriter who is familiar with the manga/ anime sub-culture of Japan, we are able to share Mark's work with the Japanese audiences by providing Japanese subtitles for this Japanese influenced, made in Singapore animation.
