BiD seminar

Access to Energy Services for the Poor

This series of seminars on doing business in developing countries is organised by the Business in Development programme of the NCDO , P+ Magazine and the Royal Tropical Institute (KIT). These meetings are unique because the selected projects are sustainable, potentially profitable, improve lives of the poor and are innovative. More so, they are open to outside participants. The projects are still looking for potential partners.

Each seminar focusses on one sector: Energy in this case. The seminar cases are presented by professionals and entrepreneurs. After the presentation of a ‘Best practice’ a series of projects are presented.
