Identify and Validate Customer Needs and Problems

November 10, 2020 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

As an entrepreneur, before starting selling your product or service, how confident are you that you fully understand the customer’s problems? Do you know how to evaluate your business ideas and distinguish those from real business opportunities? In this workshop, we’re excited to dive into the research process and strategies entrepreneurs can use to understand customer’s needs, test assumptions and validate customer’s pain points.

However, if you’re looking to participant in the 2021 StartUP program, you are required to take minimum four workshops in order to be qualified to compete and an opportunity to win 10,000 grant award.

The Queens Economic Development Corporation and Queens Tourism Council will host Queens Taste 2024 at the New York Hall of Science in Flushing Meadows Corona Park on Tuesday, May 21, from 6 pm to 9 pm.

We expect to attract more than 500 attendees with 50 restaurants and beverage purveyors, who will offer samples of their products. Thus, attendees will be able to bounce from table to table, tasting treats from tangy to fiery, crunchy to velvety, and sweet to briny.

Queens Taste is also a celebration of the borough -- and a great way to network. Almost all the anticipated 500 attendees either live in Queens or do business there. Many are executives and captains of industry. The atmosphere is always festive, almost giddy, creating an ideal scene for meeting and greeting.
