Over the years students from Chalmers School of Entrepreneurship and the School of Intellectual Capital Management have conducted several projects all around the globe. In the year of 2009, the Seaweed Center Project was founded by the students of CSE'10. Since January 2010 the students of ICM'11 will take over the task of further develop the project. This blog has the purpose of giving you the opportunity to follow the development of the project.

Update from ICMers on Zanzibar

Hi!

We finally have both power and internet access, which is a scarce resource on Zanzibar!

During this week we have seen the wonderful results of the Seaweed Center Project. We are very excited about continuing to work with this. We have met the seaweed farmers a couple of times and it is obvious that our work is highly appreciated.

This far, we have met with many of the key persons involved in the center like Dr. Flower, Jan and Rasmus. We have also produced some marketing material for selling the soaps. Yesterday we got in contact with a couple of hotel managers and we are hopefully going to meet them to present our product before we have to fly back to a frosty Gothenburg.

We have been to Stonetown twice(!) to acquire the application form for the NGO for the seaweed farmers. We are currently filling this application out and we are later going to try to find a printer (with electricity) to print the constitution written by our great law students.

Now we have to send this in before the generators are turned off!

We are really looking forward to show what we have learned and experienced when we get back. We have a lot of pictures to show everybody!
