Online lecture on frugal innovations by André Leliveld

ASC senior researcher André Leliveld, who is also a researcher within the Centre for Frugal Innovation in Africa (CFIA), gave a web lecture about frugal innovations and inclusive economic growth. Frugal innovations can be described as sober but ingenious products and services for small budgets and local conditions. The Centre for Frugal Innovation in Africa is a joint multidisciplinary centre of the Leiden, Delft and Erasmus universities and contributes to the MOOC (massive open online course) Responsible Innovation of Delft University of Technology.
