Overview
The goal of Innovate UK Global Alliance Africa’s Open Innovation intervention is to help African companies find innovative solutions to technical problems that their traditional supply chains cannot solve. We do this by promoting cross-sectoral innovation transfer from organisations beyond their usual supply chains. Using our bespoke platform, we run Open Innovation Challenges to match real industry problems for large businesses with innovative companies or academic institutions who can provide novel, market ready solutions to those problems.
About the recording
This recording will provide further information about the challenge, and there was also a Q&A session to participants. We invited potential solution providers to this webinar as an opportunity to learn more about the challenge area.
About the Challenge
This Open Innovation challenge, delivered by the Global Alliance Africa project, is supporting Lafarge Africa Plc (part of Holcim Group) to find innovative, circular ideas for the use of Construction Demolition Materials (CDM) to tackle the challenges of material waste and climate change, to help to decarbonise the construction industry. They are focusing on 3 inter-related initiatives: digital platforms; scouting and securing sources; material handling, sorting and recycling tech. A flexible, scalable solution would be preferred to benefit Nigerian business operations directly.
