Project Report | Dec 29, 2023
Dec 2023 Quarterly Impact Report - SocialTech Lab

By Steven W. Stavrou & Burak Berk Doluay | Directors

Winning Teams of the UNDP Youth Innovation Factory
Winning Teams of the UNDP Youth Innovation Factory

As we approach the end of an incredible 2023, we’re proud to share our final quarterly update of the year! The past few months have marked a whirlwind end to the year with the successful conclusion of two of our core programs and additional exciting updates!

With SocialTech Lab operating in full swing, The Base by CyprusInno has been buzzing with activity. From workshops to panels, coworking to podcasting, mentorship and more, young entrepreneurs and innovators from communities across our divided island continue to expertly leverage the tools and resources we make available to them to build and scale their ideas, as well as foster partnerships for growth.

In this quarterly update, we place a spotlight on some of the key activities that contributed to this impact since our previous update, including:

  • A 3-month venture builder with UNDP to accelerate the development & launch of tech-based innovations tackling social and environmental challenges. A diverse cohort of 20 teams and 50+ participants, where two winning teams received €25k to turn their ideas into reality
  • Training the next generation of agrifood entrepreneurs during a 2-day intensive bootcamp for youth across the island, including pitching and industry networking
  • Continuing to train 40+ leaders during our Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE), which concluded in November

As a community center, we also continue to support impactful initiatives by other local civil society organisations who, in partnership with us, hosted activities at The Base:

  • Expert panel discussion on the potential of blockchain to bridge the divide between communities
  • Training on navigating social challenges through entrepreneurship and innovation for youth

We are also grateful to keep you in the loop on some of our achievements during this time:

  • Signed a partnership with Ventures Thrive unlocking access to €1.5M in capital for startups in our programs
  • Participated in the 2023 SME Assembly during European SME Week in Bilbao as National Winners of the 2023 European Enterprise Promotion Awards (EEPA) for Responsible and Inclusive Entrepreneurship
  • Participated as a Judge in the 2023 Commonwealth Secretary-General’s Innovation for Sustainable Development Awards as previous winners in the category of Peace
  • Hosted a business brunch with Microsoft US for local Cypriot founders

We have an exciting pipeline of initiatives planned for 2024, carrying on the great work that was done in 2023 but with an eye towards increasing our impact. Your support helped make all of this possible. So, once again, we sincerely thank you for your belief in our vision.
