The document outlines a project for co-creating frugal and reverse innovations in emerging markets from 2014-2018 through action research and innovation camps. The project will bring together companies, students, NGOs, local societies, and researchers to develop innovations in key industries like renewable energy, water, housing, and waste management. Three innovation camps are scheduled in Tanzania, Kenya, and India to engage target Finnish companies that are growth-oriented, open, sustainable, and committed to partnerships. The camps are intended to help companies gain understanding of local innovations and opportunities while accelerating partnerships and learning.
