\n\t\tResearch Sprint: Green Technology, Entrepreneurship & Climate\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

The goal of the research sprint is to support promoting green technology startups and incubators in Vietnam and Mexico specifically and in the Global South more generally. Therefore, the research sprint focuses on exploring the reasons behind two persistent challenges in the Vietnamese green technology ecosystem: the shortage of aspiring entrepreneurs and the lack of investments.<\/p>\n

To enable the researchers to conduct an in-depth analysis of these challenges and develop actionable knowledge and policy recommendations, participants in the research sprint will be divided into two teams. The first team will explore the motives driving aspiring green technology entrepreneurs and the obstacles they face. A second team will study the factors that encourage or inhibit investors who wish to support green technology startups. The focus of the sprint will be on green technology startups that develop digital solutions for the energy, mobility or agricultural sector.<\/p>\n

The teams will analyse existing data, documents and studies and conduct additional primary data collection. Data access will be facilitated by the Digital Transformation Centers in Vietnam and Mexico. The teams will receive guidance and input from HIIG researchers on topics such as digital entrepreneurship and sustainability as well as on how to increase the impact of their research.<\/p>\n

Towards the end of the research sprint, the teams will write policy briefs to provide guidance to policy makers on how to promote green technology entrepreneurship and investment. Moreover, the findings of the research sprint will be integrated into local activities of the Sustainability, Entrepreneurship and Global Digital Transformation<\/i> (SET)<\/a> project, including multi-stakeholder dialogues and public events in Vietnam and Mexico. For example, the key findings of the research sprint will be presented during the Green Economy Forum & Exhibition 2022<\/a> in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam on 30 November 2022.<\/p>\n

About the project<\/h3>\n

The Sustainability, Entrepreneurship and Global Digital Transformation (SET)<\/a> research group has set itself the goal of addressing issues relating to digitalisation, particularly in Africa and Southeast Asia. Through the inclusion of social needs and effective stakeholder communication, future-oriented, sustainable and locally sensitive approaches will be developed in nine countries. With a particular focus on the topics of entrepreneurship, the future of work, and issues of AI in connection with sustainability and climate protection, HIIG is working with local stakeholders to build application-oriented expertise.<\/p>\n

SET is part of the overarching project in cooperation with the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development<\/a> (BMZ) and the Gesellschaft f\u00fcr internationale Zusammenarbeit<\/a> (GIZ). HIIG supports the BMZ’s Digital Transformation Centers (DTCs) as a scientific partner and carries out exchange and research formats in partner countries.<\/p>\n
