DI supported JICA in SEA, India and Bangladesh<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Client: JICA
\u2022 Country: Southeast Asia + India + Bangladesh\u00a0
\u2022 Industry: Various<\/p>\n

Background: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Innovations that leverage cutting-edge science and technology are crucial for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) efficiently and effectively. By fostering social startups that address challenges with unconventional ideas, these innovations can accelerate the resolution of social issues. However, developing countries often lag in creating supportive ecosystems for startups. Key challenges include the development of policy and institutional frameworks, a lack of adequate support functions to facilitate startup growth, and insufficient funding for sustainable development.<\/p>\n

This project aims to identify the necessary support to build and strengthen ecosystems that enable the birth and sustainable growth of social startups in the target countries. This includes addressing gaps in policy, management, and funding, as well as facilitating business matching with Japanese partners.<\/p>\n

Support Overview:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The objective of this project is to conduct research to clarify the specific functions of the FUND and Technical Assistance Facility (TAF).<\/p>\n

For the FUND design, we analyzed the supply and demand for financing within the startup ecosystem of the target country, breaking it down by sector and stage of startup development. This analysis helps to identify segments where public financial assistance is necessary and how it can be differentiated from private funding.<\/p>\n

Similarly, for the TAF, we reviewed the efforts of existing players and the challenges faced by startups. We identified the support currently available and areas that require enhancement, and we designed how this support should be integrated within the TAF framework.<\/p>\n
