On 22 October 2020, 7a PT / 10a ET / 11a BT / 16h CET / 1930h IRT, The Lab is hosting The Lab: Demo day 2020 online.
The Lab’s Demo Day will introduce this year’s Lab instruments to potential investors, funders, and implementation partners. The Lab’s class of 2020 targets four main areas: nature-based solutions, sustainable agriculture, sustainable cities, and sustainable energy access. This Lab cohort also includes instruments with a regional focus on Brazil, India, and Southern Africa.
Each of this year’s eight instruments underwent a competitive application process, followed by seven months of rigorous analysis and modeling to maximize the potential for success. Important to the COVID-19 outbreak, each instrument also incorporates elements that help overcome the pandemic’s economic distress for the most vulnerable, while also building long-term resilience.
