The program serves as a catalyst, enhancing the interaction between educational institutions, industry associations, and community stakeholders to develop effective solutions for the community. In the upcoming days, these EMP Fellows will work with stakeholders from various sectors like health care, education, fisheries, agriculture and environment and be coached by industry experts to create minimal viable products (MVP).
