In this edition of Roqe, two Iranian-Canadian visionaries share their insights on building ideas into impact.

First, Jian speaks with Babak Khodaparast — a young inventor, entrepreneur, and President of the National Inventors Team of Canada — about thriving in what he calls the “Invention Economy.” From clean-tech to startup incubation, Babak explains why creativity, adaptability, and innovation are the ultimate skill sets in an unpredictable future.

Then, highlights from a feature on-stage interview at Ideas at the Roqe Hub with Hamed Azimi — legal-tech entrepreneur and digital marketing strategist — who offers a bold critique of how professionals market themselves in the digital age. Are we spending too much and thinking too little when it comes to strategy? Hamed breaks it down.

A double feature on building, branding, and the new economy.
