<<< ABOUT HB Antwerp Innovation LAB

We are proud to announce our HB Antwerp Innovation Lab 2021 Cohort! The HB Antwerp Innovation Lab is a comprehensive training program with a mission to cultivate sector-specific skills and attract local talent for HB Antwerp’s operations facility in Botswana.
 
Participant benefits include:
1.     Access to resources on innovation, leadership and intrapreneurial skills.
2.     Enhanced confidence in public speaking and networking.
3.     A greater understanding of the practical applications of engineering.
4.     The opportunity to be recruited by HB Antwerp upon completion of the program in January 2022.

In sharing the excitement, Naadiya Moosajee, WomHub Co-Founder shares,  “We are excited to welcome this cohort of high potential future leaders and innovators onto the HB Antwerp Innovation Lab. Our mission at WomHub is to foster African leadership, intrapreneurship and innovation - particularly amongst women - within the context of the future world of work. We believe that this program will help equip this group of young people to thrive in their future work environment and beyond.”
 
“We are delighted to introduce the HB Antwerp Innovation Lab, a program that aims to equip the next generation of local talent in Botswana with the skills and opportunities to become part of the diamond’s journey, contributing to the ecosystem while at the same time shaping the future of the industry. Our vision at HB Antwerp is to create a meaningful, positive local impact by providing not only training but also jobs as we look to usher in the next generation of skilled professionals in the diamond industry. We are particularly focused on supporting innovation and creating gender parity in the sector. Women are historically underrepresented in technical roles within our industry. To enact change, we are partnering with WomHub to build a more representative talent pipeline by engaging young women in Engineering and Technology careers,” said Margaux Donckier, Director of Communications & External Affairs, HB Antwerp.
