Finding Talent Locally to Build a 3D Printing Sector in Nepal
Apr 14, 2020 Season 1 Episode 2
Asad Rahman

Time and again, the development of technologies is led by a few global hubs and spread to the rest of the world. Can a country like Nepal grow its own 3D printing sector? How can it find and harness local talent to build and use 3D printers, and connect 3D printing to its own challenges and opportunities?

In this episode, we’re joined by Ben Britton from Field Ready. Ben talks about how he approached this problem in his work growing a 3D printing sector in Nepal.
