Conference on Impact of the Base-of-the-Pyramid Ventures

International Conference in Delft, Nov 16-18, 2009


There is little dispute today that poverty is one of the most pressing global problems calling for innovative solutions and market-based approaches. The Base of the Pyramid (BoP) approach involves the private sector to alleviate poverty by serving markets in developing countries. These ventures respond to the needs of low income consumers, producers and entrepreneurs. A challenging task that requires technological, managerial and system innovations. Impact assessment and value creation are mayor challenges faced by the multiple actors involved in BoP initiatives. Therefore, the main question this Conference is addressing is:


How to define, measure, and optimize
towards enduring value creation of BoP ventures?


The conference will provide a platform to share conceptual and empirical evidences that address ways to better understand and increase the sustainability impacts of BoP ventures in terms of changes in economic, capacity, environmental and relational well-being. The conference will create a bridge between private and public sector, NGOs and knowledge institutes. You will be able to gather new knowledge and experiences on value creation and impact assessment of BoP Ventures, share your new insights with attendees, and increase the range of your network. The conference will be held in English.
