Catalyst Changemakers Ecosystem

In the journey of CCE, changemakers will go through the most fundamental stage in the impact creation process, which is the Catalyst Changemakers Lab (CCLab).

As a platform for learning, creativity, and experimentation, changemakers will be invited to design solutions that are appropriate to the conditions and needs of the local communities.

CCLab

Learning to Foster Sustainable Innovation

Training and mentoring at CCLab are specifically designed to sharpen your abilities as changemakers, in formulating innovative solutions that are truly relevant to the issues and can be implemented sustainably.

Barriers in Innovation

Homogeneity

Lack of diversity in industries and sectors that limit thinking and problem-solving approaches

Theory Only

Limited opportunities to apply insights directly

Irrelevance

Lack of alignment between solutions and on-the-ground contexts, such as issues, potentials, and stakeholders
