infoDev is an innovative partnership of international organizations coordinated
and served by an expert secretariat at the World Bank. infoDev focuses on how
information and communication technologies (ICT) can help combat poverty and promote opportunity, empowerment and economic growth in developing countries. In 2002, with support from the Government of Japan, infoDev launched its Incubator Initiative aimed at fostering entrepreneurship and private sector development in developing countries. Currently this Initiative facilitates the emergence and development of ICT-enabled SMEs in developing countries by supporting a global network of 60 incubators.
