LIDS Adviser Katrin Kuhlmann Launches New Markets Lab

September 15, 2013

LIDS adviser Katrin Kuhlmann launched a nonprofit called New Market Labs earlier this year. NML intends to generate and house innovative approaches in economic law, regulation and policy to address impediments to market expansion in developing countries. Based in Washington, DC, NML is already partnering with TransFarm Africa, the Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs (ANDE) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) on projects in Tanzania and Ethiopia.

Kuhlmann, together with former LIDS co-President Colette van der Ven and Erum Sattar of Harvard Law School, has also set up the Trade Innovation Institute, an informal group that gives students at Harvard and the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy an opportunity to research legal and policy matters relevant to NML”s mission.

Katrin Kuhlmann is an Adjunct Professor at Georgetown University Law Center, President of TransFarm Africa, a fellow at ANDE, and Executive Director of the U.S.-Africa Business Center. She was a 2012-13 Wasserstein Fellow at Harvard Law School.
