CfP: New Models of Innovation for Development

Call for Papers: International Workshop and Journal Special Issue: “New Models of Innovation for Development”, 4 July 2013 at the University of Manchester, UK. Initial deadline for abstracts: 11 January 2013.

New markets for innovative goods and services among those at the base of the pyramid, and new technologies – particularly information and communication technologies – are inducing and enabling new actors to become involved in innovation for development. This is creating new contexts and new locations for innovation. As a result, new models of innovation are emerging.

This workshop aims to share and explore some of these new models for which a variety of labels have emerged: “Pro-poor innovation”, “BoP innovation”, “Inclusive innovation”, “Below-the-radar innovation”, “Grassroots innovation”, “Frugal innovation”, “Jugaad innovation”, etc.
