Innovation
The Need: What problem are you trying to solve?
Two problems.
1. Diminish the environmental problems problems of transportation over large distances.
2. Creating local jobs so consumers start contributing to their locan environment.
The Solution: What is your solution? Be specific!
To turn Ben & Jerrys into a franchise, where the Ice Cream is made in the areas it's sold, from local ingredients. My plan is to start the first Danish Ben and Jerrys franchise built on the same core values as the existing entreprise.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include your primary activities
Products are purchased locally ( Less environmental costs, creating local jobs, products made from ingredients typical for their origin.)
The Ice cream is made locally, making consumers support their own areas.)
Competitions for making the best Ice Cream in the world where different areas contribute with their specialities.
The Marketplace: Who are your peers and competitors? Identify others also working to address the needs you are and what differentiates you from them. What challenges could these players pose to your success or growth?
Ben & Jerrys is clearly the key partner
Other Ice Cream makers are the competitors.
