Research & Innovation

In the scientific community, just like among the development cooperation actors, there is far-reaching agreement that progress in development in the rural regions of our world not being at the level desired cannot be put down to a lack of knowledge. Rather, the problem is that of implementing this knowledge – and hence the question of how new ideas get “from the lab to the field”, how innovative solutions can be taken to scale. And how the overall process of innovation can be speeded up.
