Equipping leaders for the 21st century.

The world is undergoing rapid change. Major shifts in technologies, climate, and globalization make poor communities even more vulnerable. Social problems are more complex and dynamic, making them harder to solve given traditional development approaches.

The Bamboo Impact Lab Franchise accelerates the training, research, and deployment of bamboo technologies in different sectors and geographies to help communities adapt and thrive. The Bamboo Impact Lab franchise program builds up a network of BIL hubs and campuses so that development programs can be scaled up to achieve whole-of-nation reach.

Objectives:

1. develop local innovation and leadership capacity to address local problems of the bamboo business ecosystem

2. build up a scalable platform of regional and transnational hubs to serve as local and global think tanks for the bamboo industry

3. launch products and services to advance the Sustainable Development Goals through bamboo-based products
