| 2024-03-21 11:32:47 – Fredrick Ahwireng (Modification Comments) Update: Due to additional funds becoming available, proposals must dedicate $500,000 specifically to GIST programming in Bhutan. Bhutan has identified STEM cooperation as their priority for bilateral engagement, viewing STEM capabilities as essential to its long-term economic development. GIST programming will build skills among Bhutanese science entrepreneurs for research commercialization, resulting in stronger linkages to American investors and businesses. Programming may include, but is not limited to, start-up training, investor training, business incubation, masterclasses, and pitch competition funding for Bhutanese entrepreneurs. |
