During the Dutch Innovation Seminar, organised by de Baak last week, we had a chance to present NABUUR.com. The audience: 150 innovation managers from companies and NGO's from the Netherlands, eager to learn about open innovation.
I would like to share what happened during the presentation of Siegfried Woldhek. (founder and CEO of NABUUR.com).
Paul Bulenzi (Local Representative for Jinja-Central in Uganda)and Siegfried Woldhek brought NABUUR ''live''.

Through Skype, Paul Bulenzi raised a question about the shipment of two large boxes with mosquito nets, donated by Mosquito Curtains from the US to Uganda. The audience came up with a number of possible solutions by sharing their ideas live and real time.
The solutions they came up with were so much representing the expression: many roads lead to Rome that I would like to share them with you... this is not about what's best, but what's possible!
1. My wife is a flight attendant for an airline, I can ask her to bring them
2. I know an airline who has a program for transporting goods for non-profits
3. You should tell and teach Paul to help himself
4. Use social networks to raise this question
5. I can post a message in a community for people travelling a lot
6. I have a friend and his girlfriend works for a US company in Uganda, maybe they can arrange shipment
7. Why don't we all raise a little bit of money and just pay for shipment by T&T?
For me the solutions mentioned represent different ways of thinking about development collaboration. Funny to see!
