accountability lab incubator program for young innovators 2023

The 2023 Accountability Incubator is seeking the outstanding innovations for open democracy, engagement, and accountability from young people. The Incubator is Accountability Lab’s flagship program for developing long-lasting, powerful tools for change by young change-makers.

This year we are looking for ideas under the theme of “Global Challenges, Local Solutions”. Your project would need to fall under one of four sub-themes including participation, inclusion, digital governance or environmental accountability.

The Incubator offers a flexible, encouraging atmosphere to innovative, industrious people who bring fresh ideas to encourage community accountability. Selected “accountapreneurs” will receive a year of practical, all-encompassing support, including mentoring, network building, training, and assistance with media outreach. Application is welcomed from women, individuals with disabilities, and other underrepresented groups.
