UNLEASH Rwanda 2023 UNLEASH is a global non-profit initiative which brings together 1000 young talents from academia, business, and civil society from around the world with the aim of inventing innovative solutions to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs

From 2 to 8 December 2023, UNLEASH will take place in Rwanda. With the country increasingly becoming Africa’s foremost hub for entrepreneurship and events, there is a unique opportunity to bring UNLEASH to Rwanda to unearth sustainable solutions and position Rwanda as the go to hub for start-ups in Africa. UNLEASH Rwanda would not only highlight Rwanda as a rapidly progressing country, but also constitute an important milestone for UNLEASH; constituting the first Innovation Lab in Africa. 

Hence, the objective of the grant is to ensure that the first ever African UNLEASH Innovation Lab is carried out successfully in Rwanda. This includes the development of different sustainable solutions that can help Rwanda and other developing countries to realise the SDGs. In addition, the objective is to ensure the participation of young talents from countries in Africa, including refugees based in camps within Rwanda.
