SUMMARY:Data Collection Workshop @ AfriLabs Annual Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Greenovations is organizing a Data Collection Workshop on the 27th October to improve knowledge and common understanding of youth and women innovation and entrepreneurship opportunities as well as different stakeholders needs in the green sectors on the African continent. Given the nature of participants to the AG event\, specific attention will be given to Tech Hubs to understand their needs in relation to their daily activities in support to the youth and women in their innovation process and entrepreneurial ventures. Thus\, Tech hubs perspectives and further ecosystem insights on various aspects related to the promotion of green innovation and entrepreneurship and creation of an effective enabling environment on the continent will be investigated. Furthermore\, acknowledging the role and existing challenges faced by stakeholders in the ecosystem\, the workshop will provide an opportunity to involved stakeholders active in the green sectors to champion different components of the framework to be implemented in the frame of the project for sustainable and wider impacts of the project outcomes on the continent. \nFor further details on the workshop click here.
