The Malaysian Global Innovation & Creativity Centre (MaGIC) has announced a partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Malaysia Country Office to launch UNDP Youth Co: Lab Malaysia. Youth Co:Lab is envisioned to connect young innovators with subject matter experts, leaders and businesses in order to develop their ideas and business models for social impact within their communities. Youth Co:Lab Malaysia will be executed in three locations across Malaysia — Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Sabah — from September to November 2018 and is envisioned to connect young innovators with subject matter experts, leaders and businesses in order to develop their ideas and business models for social impact within their communities. The themes for the Youth Co:Lab Malaysia are centred around three UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and are designed to explore viable solutions for the three issues — 1) income generation for undocumented persons; 2) energy efficiency and environmental sustainability; and 3) financial inclusion. The three themes were selected due to their interconnected impact on the marginalised communities in Malaysia.
