An increasing number of companies develop innovative business concepts for the low-income markets in developing countries with the aim to combat poverty in an economically profitable way.
Likewise, non-governmental organizations and development agencies are becoming interested in this so-called Base-of-the-Pyramid (BoP) approach to poverty alleviation.
The conference on Sustainable Innovations at the Base of the Pyramid attempts to increase BoP knowledge by bringing together business people, academics, NGOs and public sector representatives.
The conference addresses the topic of innovations in the underprivileged markets within the context of economically, socially, and ecologically sustainable development.
The speakers include international experts of BoP business from academia, NGOs, the public sector and companies such as Nokia, GrameenPhone, Phillips Design and Vestergaard- Frandsen.
In addition, there will be interactive workshops on current themes on sustainability and innovations at the BoP.

They are everywhere. Water bottles, jugs of laundry detergent, cosmetics containers.
Once they're empty, they go in the trash.
We only pay attention to what's inside, not to the wrapping.
Plastic containers are inconspicuous, yet well designed objects which, due to their variety of form, material and color, deserve a second look.
Up and coming artist Johanna Keimeyer took that second look.
Her treasure hunt through trash led her across half of Europe, through Slovenia, Spain, France, England and Germany.
Inspired by the aesthetics of these throw-away products, she managed to give trash a second life.
In an elaborate artistic process, she brought to life her remarkable collection of "recycle lights".
