“We have shifted our own Accelerator operations to enable efficient and creative co-creation virtual spaces, while creating new programmes directly targeting challenges exacerbated by the pandemic.”

WFP innovation bootcamp on increasing the effectiveness of health campaigns.
The team is committed to creating innovation acceleration programmes with partners, covering the complete innovation spectrum from problem mapping, to innovation sourcing, fund management and scale-up support.
We design and deliver custom innovation journeys to help organizations unlock the entrepreneurial spirit of its people, to incubate new ideas, and plan their path to scale.
We enable spaces that bring key actors together across sectors and help them to collaborate in a creative goal.
We facilitate learning experiences to practice new ways of working using open innovation, human-centred design and entrepreneurial frameworks.
“Our future lies in fostering radically collaborative ecosystems that help scale the impact of the innovations we support to improve the lives of vulnerable people.”
