That week in China was a real discovery! We had the opportunity to hear very good speakers to better understand the sustainable development ecosystem in China and to better understand their state of mind on this subject. By the end of the week, I had learned a lot and this served me directly to better imagine my project in China: developing hackathon to foster innovation for sustainable development in this country.
“I had a rich learning experience on the SDGs, made new friends from around the world and discovered China’s innovation landscape!”
When I arrived at Tsinghua University, I was immediately struck by the kindness and open-mindedness of our host, the X-Lab, as well as by the quality of the speakers we had (UNDP, etc.). The presentations of the various speakers focused on concrete issues related to sustainable development and, as a startup founder, I particularly appreciated the visit to the daycare center for autistic people in Beijing, an example of a success story that allows us to affirm loud and clear that social impact and business can be very effective. The icing on the cake of the week was the SDG OpenHack, which, thanks to the mix of its participants and the richness of the discussions discussed, will set the pace and serve as an example for future hackathons in the region.
In summary, I would strongly recommend this week to any student or entrepreneur with the ambition to think out of the box and broaden his or her field of thought!
