At the conclusion of R4i, participants reflected on their impactful journey with confidence.

However, LEADERSHIP reports that the Research for Impact (R4i) initiative is back in action with its 13th cohort. 

It is gathered that within 10 days, participants in their teams will tackle challenges arising from the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, achieving this through accelerated innovation.

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. 

Ugona presented the Triple H model: Head, Heart, and Hands, highlighting their critical role in emotional intelligence.

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

These experts will provide valuable support to the teams in developing their prototypes. Additionally, participants had the opportunity to introduce themselves, their institutions, and areas of specialization. 

R4i Initiative aims to usher in a new era of societal development by addressing pressing challenges.

This remarkable initiative, led by TETFund in collaboration with Innov8 Hub, harnesses the combined power of academic ingenuity and industry expertise, further reinforcing the Triple Helix Synergy among Government, Academia, and Industry.
