Asia P3 Hub is a multi-sector collaboration platform that brings together people from the government, business, academia, and civil sectors to collectively tackle the effects of poverty. Our initial focus area is water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH).
Shared value co-creation is at the heart of multi-sector partnerships. The “secret sauce” for the Asia P3 Hub model and one of its core values is combinatorial innovation. Combinatorial innovation builds on the premise that each stakeholder brings to the table unique assets, be those financial resources, technical expertise, industry knowledge, people resources, etc. When combined together in new ways through a co-creation approach, breakthrough innovations to solve existing problems can be achieved.
The workshop will explore combinatorial innovation and explore how that can be applied to multi-sector partnerships.
