The purpose of this initiative is to assist economically emerging economies with affordable access to premium Agile events and speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is an economy that is developing from a traditional economy (focused on agriculture and the export of raw materials) to a more advanced economy focused on industrialization (the use of machines instead of people to make things easier and cheaper).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the absence of a single list of emerging economies, we are currently using the following list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These economies share common characteristics, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to recent research by the World Bank<\/a>, Human capital (the skills, experience, and effort of a population) is the world\u2019s greatest asset. Investing in people leads to greater wealth and faster economic growth. Therefore, it is vital for emerging economies to build their human capital in order to prepare for a more technologically demanding future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately, in economically emerging countries, only major cities host local Agile conferences. Many individual practitioners are excluded due to location or financial reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The intention is to build on local Agile knowledge and experience by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n South Africa successfully piloted this concept in 2018. In 2019 We expanded to Colombia. Check out our reports<\/p>\n\n\n\n We will continue to expand to at least one new emerging economy each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
