Real life scenario for Module 1 - Spot your opportunity
Juliette is a woman who lives in a small town in France, and her dream is to create her own brand of clothing for young women made in France with local raw materials. But when she was starting to develop her business idea, she discovered that there is important competition in the clothes market, because young women prefer to buy from multinationals, since prices are cheaper and you can find a wide product differentiation. So, studying the context, Juliette has the idea to create a French clothing brand using recycled products. In this way she can sell her clothes at a lower price, working on captivating products and an innovative system.
