BCIC-New Ventures’ 25 round-three competitors have been hard at work on their Round 3 business overviews which were submitted on August 8th.
Competition judges will announce the 10 finalists on September 4th but in the meantime let’s have a closer look at the Top 25.
Twothirds Water is a group of engineers and entrepreneurs who develop and market innovative water treatment products in developing countries.
Western businesses have traditionally shied away from developing-world markets because of challenges with distribution and pricing. However, Twothirds Water is creating a line of remarkable price-appropriate water filters, and is cracking the distribution problem by partnering with entrepreneurs in developing countries.
Twothirds Water intends to demonstrate that this can not only be a sustainable delivery mechanism for much-needed health products, but that there is very attractive profit potential as well.
