An opportunity to become a member of a virtual think-tank on business incubation working groups on Women, Youth, and High Growth. Make sure to submit a proposal by April 15th, or become a general member by contacting one of the infoDev focal points.
The infoDev Request for Proposals "Promoting ICT-enabled Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Developing Countries through Business incubation" involves a call for proposals for three international working groups, namely on Women, Youth and High Growth. These can be thought of as "virtual think tanks", which will take a systematic look at the specific challenges of incubation in the given working areas, derive lessons learned, good practices and business models.
If your organization is interested in getting involved, we encourage you to contact the focal points for the working groups as follows:
Women: Heinz Fiedler - heinz@spice-group.de
Youth: Stefan Schandera - s.schandera@schandera.de
High Growth: César Yammal - cyammal@gmail.com
These people act as focal points for infoDev during the RFP call for proposals, assuring communication and contact flow among incubators and organizations interested in the global working groups. They also provide consultation on this section of the RFP.
Please note that the deadline for submission of proposals is April 15, 2008.
