If the current experts in the financial inclusion field are still struggling to understand the under-served, how will the young starters up behind their innovative outfits understand the under-served to the extent of designing innovative solutions for them through technology? Perhaps pairing the experts with the young innovators for symbiotic energy may work better. For that to happen, the motivating awards need to be improved to say $ 500,000, not unless the purpose here is to upgrade the starters to a higher level. Yes, $10,000 will attract the young innovative minds but with less experience in the field of the under-served. The tech savvy young people are busy making money with their knowledge and skills to be attracted to a $10,000 ward to design solutions around sets of people that experts hardly understand and have no solution for. I suppose they are exhibiting products or solutions, rights?
