The Base of the Pyramid

The BoP is a socio-economic designation for the roughly 4 billion individuals who live below $4 per day, living mostly in rural villages and urban slums in developing countries.

Public Value of S&T Innovation

Contrary to popular assumptions, there is the emerging idea of a BOP-centric approach that can tap the market potential of those at the bottom of the pyramid.

About the Project

The project aims to foster innovations that can effectively address the developmental needs of the economically marginalized sector in the region.
