Participants dived into important topics on environmental impact, marketing strategies, and effective PR practices.

The momentum continued on Day 2 with hands-on workshops and insightful feedback sessions, including a special presentation from IDH and Sculpt Partners on regenerative agriculture and climate risk financing. The day concluded with field visits to Kopernik and Umah Pupa, where innovators gained practical insights into experimental methodologies and witnessed innovative solutions in action.

Day 3 emphasized the prevention of gender-based violence and harassment, talent retention, new OCFI onboarding, and group discussions with external experts. A session on facilitation for follow-on support post-WE4F program underscored the importance of continued collaboration and support for ongoing initiatives.

The convening concluded with a memorable farewell dinner, emphasizing the significance of individual meetings with speakers, hub staff, and donors. These interactions showcased invaluable opportunities for networking, knowledge exchange, and the potential for impactful collaborations.
