Many innovators need access to skilled technical people, especially engineers in disciplines other than their own in order to complete their designs and prototypes and integrate them into existing infrastructure.

We are partnering with skilled engineers, and associations of engineers to help bring support where its needed.

Some of the skills we are hoping to locate include: Rapid prototyping; Simulation (especially a virtual windtunnel); CNC machining etc.

There is also a list of current technical requests.

Natural Innovation .org works with innovators who have great ideas that have a potential to scale to have a significant impact on poverty or the environment. Most of the innovations we work with are focused on developing countries, and many of the innovators are based there.

We work with these innovators to help them bring the idea to realisation, by de-risking (for example creating a prototype, or testing a market) and then scaling.

We link innovators with resources - including grants; volunteers (especially technical); debt and strategic partners.

Some of the innovators and innovations we are working on appear here.

There aren't many other people or organisations actively supporting technology innovators in, or focused on, developing countries.  Here are listed a few of those we've been in touch with.

There are many other kinds of support that innovators need.  Listed here are some of the other people we are happy to work with.

Natural Innovation .org works with innovators who have great ideas that have a potential to scale to have a significant impact on poverty or the environment. Most of the innovations we work with are focused on developing countries, and many of the innovators are based there.

We incubate these innovators to help them bring the idea to realisation. We link innovators with resources - including grants; volunteers (especially technical); finance and strategic partners.

Some of the innovators and innovations we are working on appear here, (some others are still in stealth)

In addition we work on projects that can change the landscape for support and funding for such innovators. For example addressing licensing issues, or developing component technologies that multiple innovators need.
