    The Green Innovation Lab is a buildup to the learnings and results of the pilot Green Entrepreneurs Bootcamp we organized in 2022. The results from the pilot showed that businesses still struggle with business registration, hence the scope of the training vis-a-vis the curriculum has been revised to adjust to these learnings.

    The program aims to develop, test, and validate Minimum Viable Products, and where successful, to establish and register 45 waste management and circular enterprises in 2024.
