The opening event of cohort 13 featured a warm address by His Excellency, Mr. Edward Singhatey, who introduced participants to Innov8 Hub and provided a concise overview of the R4i Initiative.

The stage was then taken by R4i Facilitator, Engr. Betty Ugona, who introduced the participants to the human essence of innovation.

Throughout their stay at R4i 13, participants will collaborate with a team of technical experts from Innov8 Hub.
