Tomorrow (24 OCT), I will be speaking about "Smart Village" at Google Business Group's "Mobile for Business" event.
This is from the event page,
Can smartphone help develop rural communities on education and improve economy? and can a very personal device like smartphone be a shared device?It is amazing to see how Fusion has evolved since SmartVillage inception in 2010. Something that started as an experiment, is now a country wide movement.
"Smart Village" an innovative project since 2010, created by Sarvodaya-Fusion (a social enterprise) to see the response for above questions and we were led in to remarkable insight. Isura will share how those insights, which show the potential for using internet and devices to uplift rural small enterprises can help your business.
Here's the thing though..." Can we truly reap the benefits knowing that rural communities are ready for internet and devices?" " What is stopping us as a nation?"
Let's discuss, tomorrow.
