The purpose of creating the Waste Innovation Network (WIN) - India is to facilitate infusion and injection of innovation energies of entrepreneur and start up community within the waste management sector in India. When the practitioners and professionals in waste management industry are networked with entrepreneurs and investors to create a unique ecosystem, possibilities for developing innovative solutions for waste management are endless.
To this end, the challenges and issues presented in the Symposium will include both technological as well as non-technological. It is often easier to understand technological challenges that happen to be tangible, whereas non-technological issues such as regulatory barrier, communication challenge, issue with behaviour change are examples of issues that are intangible and therefore often miss out on innovation.
The Symposium will showcase speakers from waste management industry in India as well as overseas representing the various players who are together contributing and shaping waste management for the better. These speakers will represent the diversity of key players in the waste management sector as they will include:

WIN India 2018 Symposium
WIN India 2018 Symposium is unique as its agenda is being shaped by the purpose of educating and informing the community of entrepreneurs and investors about the challenges and problems that need to be solved to facilitate innovation in waste management in India. This is quite unlike other conferences that are aimed at general exchange of knowledge and practice among waste professionals and between traders and waste managers.
