Working to scale a technology designed for the bottom of the pyramid?
Come join for the second of a series of panels to help teams working
to scale up technologies for development. This session’s theme is:
From Idea to Business Model. You'll hear from four individuals with
different experiences in driving technologies from idea to the hands
of thousands of people. Our panelists will share how they identified a
problem worth solving, how they chose or designed a technology
solution, and how they built a business model along the way. And much
more…
