REC@nnect is a programme to support technology entrepreneurship throughout South and Central Asia by the international non-profit CRDF Global in partnership with the US Department of State. The three-day regional meet had brought together 40 promising technology entrepreneurs from South and Central Asia in the field of health, agriculture, energy and ICT.
The top 10 startup ideas from the initial 40 that received mentorship and training from renowned international and national mentors, had also showcased their products and services to a panel of judges and audience comprising eminent entrepreneurs, corporate bigwigs, investors, eminent professors, and the startup community in Nepal. Earlier on Wednesday, addressing a Demo Day programme, Minister for Urban Development Narayan Khadka, said that REC@nnect had done a great job in inspiring tech entrepreneurs to share their ideas and showcase their products and services. “People with innovative ideas are the new businessmen,” he said.
