NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

The Nextbillion.net Team is pleased to announce the launch of our new BOP Activity Database. The Database tracks innovative enterprises that offer products and services to underserved communities in developing countries, and is searchable either by keyword or through a variety of pre-defined categories. It is meant to serve as a knowledgebase for those interested in researching and developing sustainable business models that address the needs of the world’s poorest citizens. You can access the Activity Database by clicking on the link above, or by clicking here.

The 200 activities currently in the database represent only a small fraction of the creative work being done today. Do you know of a relevant BOP enterprise that should be included? Please tell us about it online. Once you are logged in, click on ’Submit an Activity’ and then enter in the pertinent information.
