ICT in Moldova, Mongolia and Georgia
For the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), IPI served on a team assessing the potential to fund ICT incubators in Moldova, Mongolia and Georgia. IPI team members did a brief feasibility analysis, evaluating local market demand, availability of capital and advisors, characterizing the entrepreneur community and determining if partnerships with local academic institutions would support an incubation program focused on communications, software development and gaming. Many of the insights IPI developed concerning entrepreneurs in the Newly Independent States have been instructive in other markets we have served since.
