Technology Entrepreneurship in Indonesia and Kenya, PRP 183

The Technology Transfer, Entrepreneurship, and Economic Development project was designed as an opportunity for graduate students to develop skills as “consultants” to assist a variety of institutions, including non-profit organizations, for-profit firms, university research centers, and government agencies in encouraging technology entrepreneurship in Indonesia and Kenya. Students operated within interdisciplinary teams to provide diverse management consulting services on issues of organizational development, technology innovation and transfer, strategy, marketing, finance, human resources, development, fundraising, and sustainability. These two experiments have sought to enable innovative small and medium-sized enterprises and startups as key contributors to socioeconomic development to generate high-value employment and positively affect local communities within Indonesia and Kenya.
