Innovation center partners are community organizations connecting people to resources, education, infrastructure, and support for the development of technologies that will have an impact on communities living in poverty.
Each center is unique, its offerings a reflection of its founders and the community it serves, but all of them provide a basic foundation:
- Training in design and fabrication
- Shared tools and equipment for prototype and product fabrication in a variety of materials
- Space in which to gather, learn, and create
- A community of like-minded individuals with whom to share and test ideas for development solutions
IDIN-affiliated innovation centers are up and running in Botswana, Brazil, Cameroon, Colombia, Ghana, India, Kenya, Nepal, Pakistan, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia.
