Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>President Paul Kagame held a meeting with Anders Holch Povlsen, owner and CEO of Bestseller, and Flemming Besenbacher, Unleash chairman, at Village Urugwiro on Thursday, December 7.<\/p>\n

Bestseller, an international retail clothing chain, through its foundation, is actively supporting the Circular Economy Track and had a role in assisting Unleash to organise the first-ever innovation lab in Africa.<\/p>\n

Unleash, recognised as a global innovation platform, has brought together 1,000 youth from various parts of the world to participate in a week-long innovation lab hosted in Kigali. The primary goal is to address global challenges and contribute to sustainable solutions aligned with the United Nation\u2019s sustainable development goals (SDGs).<\/p>\n

Rwanda takes the lead as the first country in Africa to host such an innovation lab. Previous Unleash innovation labs have taken place in Denmark, Singapore, China, Greenland, and India.<\/p>\n

The finale of the innovation lab will be marked by the Solutions Festival and Hanga Pitchfest 2023, which stands as Rwanda’s largest in-person technology event. Scheduled for Friday, December 8, this event will witness top finalists pitching their prototypes, offering them an opportunity to present their ideas to funders, judges, and investors.<\/p>\n
