What does it take to overcome critical barriers to scale for entrepreneurs?
In a week-long program, the MIT D-Lab’s Tackling Challenges to Scale: Enterprises & Ecosystems Summit, a group of entrepreneurs and entrepreneur supporters from East Africa and around the world convened in Mukono, Uganda from October 27 to November 2, 2019 to collectively discuss this very question. Design teams explored a range of unique and urgent scaling challenges and use the participatory design approach to co-design creative approaches to overcoming these business challenges, in order to drive local East African ventures’ growth and scale.
