Eleven start-up firms with novel technologies for solving social and environmental problems have set off on a voyage around the world to find new markets where their innovations could improve people’s lives.
The entrepreneurs will sail to 13 countries, including stops in China, Ghana, India, Mauritius, Morocco, Myanmar, South Africa and Vietnam, as part of the mentor-driven Unreasonable at Sea programme that aims to support a select group of technology companies and their founding members.
Along the way, the companies will be presented to local businesspeople, government officials and investors, and receive mentoring from 20 established entrepreneurs and investors.
Several technology companies from the developing world are also on board MV Explorer, which set sail last month (9 January) from San Diego, United States.
