By the way, to get to the Protocol directly, go to http://bop-protocol.org

And also, the core team for the pilot test is made up of people from a bunch of different backgrounds and institutions, we're just one.

It really is quite a team. Wish us luck and learning in Kenya.

BRINQ - Innovation at Play

_Patrick Donohue — Wed, 25 May 2005 12:45:15 -0400

With great pleasure, we would like to introduce you to BRINQ, the Workshop and our efforts around innovation, toys, and the Base of the Pyramid Protocol.

BRINQ is a venture based on a single powerful belief: The world's 4+ billion poor represent a huge untapped source of innovation! Among these billions are geniuses, innovators and entrepreneurs waiting to be discovered, local equivalents of Einstein, Edison, and Ford. Their strong and varied cultural perspectives mean a different way of looking at the world, a different way of solving problems, and a different type of innovation. When it comes to innovation, different is a must! Plus you'd be hard pressed to find a more entrepreneurial bunch with stronger incentives to succeed.

BRINQ seeks to sow and gather the innovations of the world’s "poor", focusing less on the traditional invention of technology and more on the innovation of utility, the novel and unexpected ways in which people use technology. Our primary focus is on innovation in toys and play (we ask the toy industry, Where are all the children?), but we also emphasize systems to enable and propagate all types of innovation. This innovative spirit is best captured by the BRINQ question and credo,
“Do the poor dream brighter sheep?”
