It is aimed at providing support to innovative companies to access new markets and grow their businesses by integrating flexible electronics technologies into advanced products and services. The third camp – an initiative of SAARC CCI Startups’ Boot Camps series – is being organised by SAARC Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SAARC CCI) in partnership with the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (FNF).

Minister of State for Economic Development of Maldives Neeza Imad, President of Maldives National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MNCCI) Ismail Nooradeen and vice chair of SCWEC Ms. Shaira Saleem will also grace the occasion.
The selected thirty-two startups, who qualified for the SAARC CCI’s Startup Boot camp ‘Strengthening Startup Ecosystems in South Asia: Cross-Border Boot Camps for Innovative Entrepreneurs Maldives’, will be mentored with leading mentors from India and Maldives by sharing their own experiences, helping teams to address their weakness in business and economic knowledge. Mentors usually have experience working through the same or similar problems and can build a sort of a ‘case study’ for the mentee to think about and work through. Mentors then help the mentee examine and solve their own problem, but the emphasis is always on helping the mentee come up with their own solution.
