"180° Academy is an incredibly ambitious program that will boost the innovative capacity of any individual and company attending. Transforming creative and business people into world class concept makers is what any innovative company dreams of - and I believe 180° Academy will enable this. There is courage to think differently. There is hard work to make stakeholder analysis to truly understand the needs of the best companies. And there is a wonderful aspiration for this program to be best of its kind - worldwide. 180° have got full support from the LEGO Group and me personally. I cannot wait to attend myself..."
