Villgro owes much of its existence and success to The Lemelson Foundation.
The Lemelson Foundation has established Recognition and Mentoring Programs (RAMPs) with partner organizations in India, Indonesia, and Peru.
The RAMPs provide support for inventors and entrepreneurs during the early, high-risk stages of developing, testing, and refining their ideas.
In addition, they provide networking, marketing and commercialization support to help entrepreneurs establish viable, replicable and scalable
enterprises based on locally-developed technologies and entrepreneurial efforts.
