… IN SHORT
you have an innovative solution for a global problem
The world is facing new and serious challenges. Climate change poses a significant threat. The global population is growing and food requirements are raising, while the amount of arable land is decreasing due to urbanization. Developing countries, like Malawi, are the countries most affected. Fortunately innovative companies like you are seeking to contribute actively in resolving these global problems.
The problem is that innovative solutions ask for a local context
Great solutions are not always enough in a high-risk environment. A viable business case does not always work in a different business environment. How do you tailor your idea to local market circumstances? Where do you find reliable partners? Where do you find access to investment capital? Breaking New Business Ground can help you to reach your goals.
Are you looking for a solution that fit the context?
More than 20 years of business experience in Malawi have given me, Martine Berger, a good insight in local habits & sensibilities in Malawi. I can will introduce you to a large value adding network. I recognize bottlenecks in different stages of company growth and can help you turning complex issues into practical business solutions. You can reach that next level in your organisation, increase your impact and realize your goals. Together we can innovate Malawi.
inclusive innovation
Do you want your innovation to match the needs of all Malawians? How can the majority of people in Malawi afford your innovative products and services, while many depend on traditional jobs in the informal sector? By implementing your innovation for and by low income groups, Breaking New Business Ground will help you leverage the full potential of your innovation and maximize impact in Malawi.
