The first UNLEASH Innovation Lab took place in Denmark in 2017, followed by Singapore (2018), China (2019), Greenland (2022), and India (2022). Each edition was anchored in the local context and addressed the SDGs most relevant to the host country and the region. UNLEASH Rwanda will harness Kigali’s innovation ecosystem and focus on developing solutions for education, health, sustainable cities and communities, as well as decent work and economic growth, amongst other SDG-related themes.
