Last week, PopTech brought together an amazing and diverse group of thinkers, stakeholders, and domain experts in Nairobi, Kenya for our Climate Resilience Lab. The three-day event was our first major convening around the issue of building resilience to climate change effects at the community level with a particular focus on identifying the roles of and opportunities for girls and women.
PopTech Labs are part of our ongoing mission to bring together carefully curated networks around issues of vital importance to business, society and the planet. The goal of every Lab is to map a particular space, identify opportunities for disruptive innovation and ideas, and to collaboratively design unconventional actions to propel such ideas forward. Labs foster sustained conversations that last well beyond the initial gathering as network ties deepen and new questions and solutions emerge.
Looks like it was amazing. We just talked to PopTech president Leetha Filderman and will be writing about the labs soon.
