1 Reaching for the fortune at the bottom of the pyramid - Innovative business opportunities in developing countries International conference, co-organised by the Confederation of Danish Industries and the Danish Industrialisation Fund for Developing Countries Potentially huge market opportunities among poor consumers in developing countries? Not the most obvious idea, most people would think. But a fast rising number of Western based companies are discovering new and highly profitable markets in the developing countries with little or even no competition. The world s two to four billion poor people are consumers in their own right. They may not have much to spend individually, but serving their basic needs can nevertheless be a profitable business because of the sheer number of potential customers. According to estimates the market "at the bottom of the pyramid" (BOP) has a value of $13 trillion! The Confederation of Danish Industries in cooperation with The Danish Industrialisation Fund for Developing Countries, is therefore taking the opportunity to present and discuss this new BOP business concept and is honoured to present one of its "fathers" professor Stuart L. Hart, Cornell University, to give the key note speech. Together with professor Hart we will present the participants with innovative strategies to develop high quality products and services for costumers with low purchasing power, taking into account that it requires new and different business models. We will also present participants with practical cases of how the BOP concept has worked for specific companies. The alternative view of the poor as consumers is widely considered to be beneficial to all parties. By turning the poor into consumers they are given access to information through for instance communication technology, access to choice among a larger range of products and they can earn a living from selling BOP products to other consumers. Hence, the conference is also linked to the debate on responsible corporate citizenship and the private sectors' crucial role in achieving the UN's Millennium Development Goals.
2 Reaching for the fortune at the bottom of the pyramid - Innovative business opportunities in developing countries Speakers Dr Stuart L. Hart, Professor Cornell University is one of the world's top authorities on the implications of sustainable development and environmentalism for business strategy. Professor Hart is the author of path-breaking articles and books articulating how business can profitably serve the needs of the developing world. Ms Ulla Tørnæs, Minister for Development has been in the forefront of promoting private sector development in order to fight poverty in the developing countries. The Danish government recognises the crucial role of the private sector in development assistance and acknowledges the need for innovation in public-private partnerships to attain the UN Millennium Development Goals Mr Finn Jønck, Managing Director of IFU/IØ/IFV has a long and active international career in the UN, OECD and the World Bank. As the managing director of The Industrialisation Fund for Developing Countries (IFU), Mr Jønck is playing an active role in promoting economic activity in the developing countries by co-financing in the form of share capital participation, loans and guarantees.
