In the inaugural cohort of the #GDCInnovationLaunchpad, a small group of GDC members, labeled as "innovation adopters," will have the opportunity to engage with two other members recognised as "innovation trailblazers". 💡The innovation adopters will benefit from the experiences and lessons learned of trailblazers SolarAid Zambia/SunnyMoney Malawi and Frontier Markets in last-mile repair services and e-commerce, respectively. Additionally, adopters will receive technical assistance and grant funding to spearhead the innovation within their own company, while the trailblazers full support and funding from the GDC to impart their knowledge and insights to the cohort of innovation adopters. 🥳We are excited to witness this initiative come to life and are highly anticipative of the ground-breaking innovations that GDC members will craft in the realms of #ecommerce and last-mile #repairservices. 🙏🏾Special thanks to Transforming Energy Access for their invaluable support for our Innovation work, and to Fred Mwale (SolarAid) and Ajaita S.
