DESCRIPTION
This presentation is made by Business with Impact Co-creation at India Agriculture Team. The Journey was organized by TEKES and Drishtee in collaboration with Team Finland partners. The journey begins (20.3 - 24.3.2014) with field research in Bihar and continued with a networking event (25.3.2014). High level reception & workshop was held in Embassy of Finland, New Delhi on (26.3.2014) which offered us an opportunity to present the achieved results and to discuss with companies and representatives of ministries and other governmental actors about the development needs, delivery of scalable solutions and business creation. This journey was a great way to explore new business opportunities and pilot affordable solutions in one of the largest rural supply chains and piloting platforms in India. The areas of future development are abundant covering agriculture, textile manufacturing, aqua culture, energy, housing, water, sanitation, health, education and entrepreneurial training. Looking forward for your new ideas, solutions and co-operation to continue this journey!
