“The time you spend with your global peers working together on impactful and innovative projects takes you way beyond your standard textbook/lecture series. Consider it a premium investment in your future! iPodia goes beyond what so many other courses offer at USC, it’s an opportunity to engage in a blended professional and educational context with peers from around the world. The projects that you get to work on are novel, innovative, and have the potential to positively impact the lives of many!”
– Warren Tichenor (USC, USA)
“iPodia was a big challenge that I embraced, one that demanded a lot of time every week, but one that I made a commitment to. Through it, I had access to rich content, in addition to having met and kept in touch with people from far away, which I find fascinating.”
– Isadora Fantini Rigo (UFRGS, Brazil)
“For me, iPodia was my chance to look past the horizons set by my own self and environment. It was my chance to take a glimpse into the possibilities the world had to offer and connect with wonderful young people, who I wouldn’t have the opportunity to meet otherwise. Through the hardships and difficulties of this project, I managed to become a better student, professional and human nonetheless.”
– Labros Gantzoudis (UPatras, Greece)
Participating in the iPodia program has been an incredibly enriching experience, both academically and personally. Through this program, we had the opportunity to travel to Brazil and engage with students from diverse backgrounds. This cross-cultural experience helped broaden our perspectives on the socio-technical factors that drive global market trends and develop an understanding of how to identify innovation targets before they become evident to individual customers. Additionally, the personal connections we formed with our peers provided us with a network of like-minded individuals across various professional fields and continents. Overall, the iPodia program embodies the spirit of international cooperation and empowers young leaders to make a lasting impact on the world.

The iPodia platform is one of a kind. My name is Kalifuba Steven, the prominent business spokesperson of Ndejje University, Kampala, Uganda, Africa, courtesy of iPodia’s knowledge, relationship, partnership, and collaboration of business ideas from around the world in one online class. Oh my God, it’s so hectic, data-consuming, and requires commitment, dedication, and decision-making by default. The moment you enter the class, Prof Stephen’s sessions become endless enjoyment and learning opportunities. All other programs should be embraced in relation to business, capital, money, and technological markets. Thanks, iPodia, for sharing the world at the same pace.

iPodia is where the magic happens. It enables students from Taiwan to connect with talented individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures. Although collaboration can be challenging at first, the program equips us with the knowledge and tools to overcome any obstacle. Overall, I would say that iPodia illuminates my path to global innovation.
