Revisiting basic business questions
What are our drivers and motivations?
How do we shift mindset?
Do we understand the real needs of the market?
Do we have the right product / service to offer?
How do we finance the investment?
How do we ensure that there is demand?
How do we ensure affordability?
How do we reach our customers?
How do we collect revenues?
How can we improve our supply chain?
How can we stimulate related economic activities downstream?
How do we scale up or replicate?
How do we measure success?

catalyzing initiatives on the ground &
mobilizing new companies, such as here
