Strengthen the innovation potential of businesses in the one or more of the four identified Newton Fund countries, through stimulating and supporting their collaboration with innovative UK businesses and with the UK's innovation ecosystem. In particular, strengthen the ability of businesses in one or more of the four identified Newton Fund countries to deliver innovative solutions (new products, new services, improves business processes) to key societal and socio-economic challenges existing within the four Newton Fund countries. These challenges must be ones currently impacting the poorer, marginalised or more disadvantaged groups within these countries' populations, although they may have a wider impact upon the general population of each country. 2. Also deliver direct benefits for UK businesses and the UK innovation ecosystem, for example in terms of an improved understanding of the innovation-driven business opportunities in the four Newton Fund countries. We are not being prescriptive in terms of the design, format, content of, or numbers of participants covered by this programme. Rather we want Suppliers to show us how the programme they propose will meet these objectives, within the stipulated budget and timeframe.
