Shaping tomorrow today

Our objective is to tap into innovation to accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals, targets set by governments of the world such as eliminating poverty, ending HIV/AIDS and the call to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.
We aim to feature solutions that are contributing to the evolution of topics such as mobility, waste management and urban living.

The Accelerator Labs Network

The United Nations Development Programme established its Accelerator Lab network in 2019 to create the world’s largest and fastest learning network on wicked sustainable development challenges. With 91 Labs covering 115 countries around the world, the Accelerator Labs are testing new ways of working to address social and environmental challenges thanks to the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development of Germany and the Qatar Fund for Development as founding investors, and support from Italy and UNDP core donors.

One way the Accelerator Labs do this is to map solutions. The labs work with grassroots communities to identify innovators, entrepreneurs and makers who are actively addressing social and environmental challenges for themselves. These types of innovations are often home-grown solutions that have never been codified, applied elsewhere, nor taken to scale.

By building on solutions that exist and work, and connecting innovators together and to a variety of partners, the Labs create an ecosystem of solutions that can be scaled as part of broader efforts to reach the ambitious goals set out in Agenda 2030.
