In this webinar, Leonard Imene presents the Namibia Business Innovation Institute's Mobile Lab, a finalist in the 2018 IASP Inspiring Solutions programme. 

Mobile Lab promotes mobile applications development by local software developers, through programming hackathons, training, peer-learning events and networking. The initiative grew from an average of 5 members in 2014 to a current 600+ members, of which 38% are women.

The Mobile Lab is community-oriented, its operations are run by youth members who are mostly current and former software development students. 90% of the events at the Mobile Lab are currently externally funded and 40% self-sustainable. Using the theory of co-creation, the lab engages software programmers, tech entrepreneurs, academia, industry and individuals who are interested in digitalizing solutions to local challenges.
