[NES Playbook #1: Blockchain] 📓📈

The NES Playbook is a unified resource to help tertiary entrepreneurs kickstart their startup ideas and to understand the global startup ecosystem. It aims to bridge the asymmetry prevalent between would-be entrepreneurs and up-and-coming industries.

For the first issue of NES Startup Playbook AY22/23, we will be covering the BLOCKCHAIN industry🧑🏽‍💻

Blockchain is a technology that allows one to store data in a decentralised way securely and reliably and has become an increasingly important tool for users across the globe to authenticate transactions. In Asia context, blockchain startups make up more than 25% of APAC startups and has attracted massive funding worldwide 🚀. While Blockchain is still in the early stages of adoption in Singapore, the technology is observed to improve the supply chain management in the areas of maritime trade. Other applications of blockchain include: cybersecurity, media and entertainment as well as finance.

Get a copy of our NES Startup Mini Playbook in the NES Linktree (https://linktr.ee/nusentrsoc) NOW🔥!!

ps. If you or your organisation is interested to find out more about how blockchain technology has redefined competition, collaboration and monetization, do check out our latest Playbook LinkedIn post to read the full, in-depth e-book✨

[Business UNusual]🕵️

The second start-up in the Business UNusual series is Vesna Care🌱. Vesna Care is a Ukrainian manufacturer of vegan-friendly and cruelty-free cosmetics made of high-quality certified ingredients. What started out as a misfortune in the form of the Ukrainian war somehow turned into a unique opportunity✨for Vesna Care.

Despite having their factory, shop, office and laboratory ransacked on multiple occasions, the owners persevered and Vesna Care thrived amidst the chaos and turbulence. Vesna Care have expanded their operations to other countries in EU such as Poland and Lithuania and recently won a deal to produce goods for a private label in the United States 🚀. Furthermore, throughout the war, Vesna Care has been donating skincare and hair care products tagged with the message, “You are our hero,” to men and women at the frontline.

A key takeaway from Vesna Care is their unyielding spirit 💪🏼. Their entrepreneurial resolve to create the most innovative solution, out of natural plant-derived ingredients, that effectively solves skin concerns, as well as to persist through the turbulent times is applaudable 👏🏻!!

Finding the pawfect treats for your paw friends can be tough, but what if there is a way to feed your pets and save the earth?!🌱🌎 Pawfoo is a sustainable pet snack venture that is passionate to alleviate Singapore's food surplus problem. The team behind Pawfoo was developed through a competition held by StartupX and Enterprise SG. This competition inspired them to venture for viable solutions to tackle the surplus problem that many local manufacturers face.

Today, Pawfoo treats have achieved 85% satisfaction rate from all of its paw friends!! 😎😎
