Seeking Partnership Closer to Home: How South-South Cooperation Empowers Businesses in Developing Markets While all businesses worldwide face challenges, businesses in the Global South must navigate additional complexities ranging from economic volatility to infrastructure constraints. As Martín Burt at Fundación Paraguaya argues, this creates a need for greater South-South cooperation — i.e., the exchange of technologies, knowledge and other resources between entities in the developing world. He explains the benefits of this practice, exploring how it can enable businesses and entrepreneurs in the Global South to work together to foster innovation and build resilient economic systems tailored to their unique circumstances: https://bit.ly/4hUUkmB #GlobalSouth #SouthSouthCooperation #BusinessDevelopment #EmergingMarkets #SustainableDevelopment #economy #SouthSouth #entrepreneurs #innovation #resilience #partnerships #business #PovertyAlleviatioin #SustainableBusiness #innovation

Do you have any thoughts on how #EcosystemServiceOrganizations (ESOs) can remain relevant in the #healthcare space and serve the needs of #entrepreneurs, and whether these organizations could play a larger role as systems catalysts? Add your views to this two minute survey, which will help the William Davidson Institute team narrow down the key topic areas for their #research in this area:
Our team has launched new research focused on healthcare accelerators and incubators with Villgro Africa. In tomorrow’s “unconference session” at #Sankalp2025, Dr. Rajat Chabba and Yaquta Fatehi will discuss priority questions with a range of key stakeholders. Conference goers: Please feel free to join them at 11AM on Day 2 in the green zone (lawns across the board rooms). The big question, presented at both the forum and at the heart of the research itself is: how can ecosystem service organizations (ESOs) remain relevant in the healthcare space and serve the needs of entrepreneurs? Could these organizations play a larger role as systems catalysts? If you’d like to have a say, please fill out this two minute survey, which will help our team narrow down the key topic areas for the research: https://bit.ly/3XmPGFN
