Keep up the good work at kLab. This kind of ecosystem is needed for it to thrive. Skills, projects, networks and funding are key.

We need also some private investors to set up their own version of accelerator business incubators. We need at least a thousand of these incubators running as private enterprises all around our country of thousand hills.

Same concept applies to agro-processing, energy and transformation, industrialization, and mechanization related projects.
