After the November Workshop, the 2nd Appropriate Technology-based Entrepreneurship Training was held. This is the second of the four rounds. The program was organized to develop and improve technology project products through phased long-term workshops to support practical businesses. The first round of the workshop was targeted to make reports from the business ideas. Participants had to find problems to solve for potential customers after analyzing the problem accurately. In the second, third, and fourth workshops, the business ideas will be testified. Then the business solution feasibility will be studied. A draft business model will be created. Then, there will be promotion of the pilot business through the business plan and prototype production. The final business plan will be drawn-up by July 2017 with workshops held on a quarterly basis.

The prize winners were: the rechargeable battery controller using solar panels, a mobile transaction system, ticket sales and information applications for soccer games, the establishment and maintenance of pipeline irrigation facilities, a radio broadcasting station to offer agricultural related business information and educational content, and the development of a roof that utilizes rubber to reduce noise. These businesses will conduct a market survey and receive advice for six weeks.
