🎉 Here are some highlights from our 2026 SDG Innovation Accelerator for Young Professionals Camp 1 which took place yesterday, at the Foreign Service Institute in Accra.
The SDG Innovation Accelerator for Young Professionals camp focuses on young professionals from diverse organizations which aim to mainstream SDG innovation, leverage the program participants – and future business leaders and decisionmakers – to become advocates and working practitioners of SDG innovation and to spread this practice across their companies at all levels ✍
This year, our Round 3 participants include B&P ASSOCIATES, Lawyers & Consultants, L'AINE HR, KEK Insurance Brokers Ltd., Margins Group, The Ghana Chamber of Mines, AngloGold Ashanti Ghana, AngloGold Ashanti Iduapriem Mine, Consolidated Bank Ghana, Jospong Green Transition Office, Ghana Manganese Company Ltd., Atlantic Catering and Logistics Limited and Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF).
Our first session was the Challenge Identification session where the young professionals (also known as Innovators) shared their personal sustainability journey amongst themselves to better understand one another’s journeys. This also allowed them to explore the Sustainable Development Goals they were more aligned to 🌍
They also identified potential social and market risks and opportunities through the SDGs and discovered how achieving the SDGs can affect several industries. They worked on framing their SDG business challenge using the tools and methods they learnt through the on-demand sessions to create the basic concept for this challenge.
This cohort is indeed ready for action.
We look forward to working closely with the teams to drive innovation and strengthen sustainable business practices. Thank you to all our Innovators, Champions, Mentors and Facilitator for making the first camp of the 2026 SDG Innovation Accelerator for Young Professionals a success 👏
