Ecosystems For Futuristic Entrepreneurship through Collaboration and Technology
About EFFECT
EFFECT (Ecosystems For Futuristic Entrepreneurship through Collaboration and Technology) is a project initiated as a part of the Call for Collaborative Research on the topic “The future of UK-Indian trade and cross border investment in a changing global environment” by UK’s ESRC (Economic and Social Research Council) and ICSSR ( Indian Council of Social Science Research). The call invites researchers in India and the UK to analyse aspects of the trade relationship between the two countries, and identify the challenges and opportunities in the context of the changing international environment.
EFFECT is a collaboration between London School of Economics, and the Institute of Development Studies in the UK, and Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur and Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics in India.
Call for participation
We are conducting a survey of Fintech firms in the UK and India to understand entrepreneurial ecosystems, in order to enhance opportunities for development and success of start-ups and established companies. The survey will be in the form of an interview using a semi-structured questionnaire. The interview can be conducted in-person or online via virtual conferencing with our research team.
What you will get from this!
We are planning to organise a series of conferences, workshops and networking events titled “Borderless Ecosystems” with the aim of bringing together investors, incubators, and entrepreneurs in UK and India. Our survey respondents will be offered the opportunity to participate in these events. The insights and recommendations from this study will inform policy makers in UK, India and beyond to enhance a more supportive environment for entrepreneurships.
All information collected during the interview will adhere with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and will be kept strictly confidential and anonymised and will not be used without your prior consent. We would be grateful for your participation in our survey and look forward to hearing about your experiences and insights about the fintech ecosystem in UK.
