Should we fund the development of new ideas, or expansion of proven ones to scale ?
Mitra Ardron, Lumeter Networks
To tackle problems at their scale – in energy; health; agriculture etc will take billions. Where will that money come from ? and where will the money come from to scale ideas from proof to profitability ?
We’ll ask:
Where should the money go if we want to maximize impact ?
Where is the money going now ?
Who is financing the scale up of solutions ?
In this panel we’ll bring forward investors and entrepreneurs looking at how to scale up already proven ideas.

I don't believe there is anything written on Drew's project on this topic at World Bank.
We will find appropriate panelists from other sectors. (there wasn't time before SOCAP Open deadline).
