Following the Knowledge Exchange and Collaboration session, Duapa Werkspace, in partnership with hapaSpace Collaborative Hub, hosted another impactful session today, February 7, 2025, on Innovation Development Strategies as part of the Youth Innovation Circles (YIC) 2025 program.

The session was led by Erasmus Mensah-Ackon, CEO and Founder of Duapa Werkspace, and focused on equipping young entrepreneurs with strategic approaches to innovation.

Participants explored key innovation strategies, including Blue Ocean Strategy, Customer-Centric Innovation, Lean Startup, Open Innovation, and Sustainable Innovation. These frameworks provided them with practical insights on how to develop groundbreaking solutions, differentiate themselves in competitive markets, and drive long-term business success.

The interactive session encouraged participants to share their ideas, discuss challenges in scaling their innovations, and receive peer feedback. This collaborative environment fostered knowledge exchange and helped refine strategies for real-world application.

Building on the previous Knowledge Exchange and Collaboration session, YIC 2025 which is supported by United Nations Development Programme – UNDP and Mastercard Foundation, continues with more in-depth sessions designed to equip young innovators with the skills, knowledge, and networks needed to create meaningful impact.
