The Economist-InnoCentive Entrepreneurship Challenge

InnoCentive and The Economist are teaming up to identify business ideas that will deliver real-world impact and economic growth to people around the world by exploiting some disruptive new technology or disruptive applications of an existing technology. Frugal innovations are especially encouraged. Submit your innovative business idea!
