Accelerate Prosperity (AP)
AP inspires and facilitates rising entrepreneurs in emerging regions to grow new markets, create
sustainable employment, and strengthen communities. AP is a global initiative of the AKDN in
Central and South Asia, which follows guidance from the Aga Khan Foundation to develop more
formal structures to catalyze enterprises in emerging marketing and areas where economic
opportunities remain insufficient. Through patient capital and tailored business advisory to start-ups
and small and growing businesses, AP complements broader employment-related programs of AKF
and draws significantly on technical expertise from the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development’s
(AKFED) Industrial Promotion Services (IPS), and coordinates efforts with the AKDN’s financial
institutions, the University of Central Asia and many other national partners.

Background:
Accelerate Prosperity (AP) is organizing U.Solve – The Data Chapter, an innovation challenge
designed to attract data and technology enthusiasts who are eager to solve identified problems
around data fragmentation, inaccessibility, lack of data-driven local market insights existing in
frontier and emerging economies.
AP has identified a potential solution to address these problems i.e. a market intelligence-driven
data platform but through U.Solve – The Data Chapter, is on the lookout for entrepreneurs and
teams who can validate and iterate the identified business solution.

coach them on how to create a simple wireframe of the platform (that each team comes up with
given the identified solution shared with them) and share best practices.
