I was lucky enough to work part-time as their startup coach for their Innovation Fellowship. The Academy sends people like myself to support innovators and researchers to developing countries to help innovators to turn their ideas and innovations into impactful and sustainable ventures.
I got to know an entrepreneur who tried to use 3D printing to produce low-cost, prosthetic arms that people can afford in his country. There was also another entrepreneur that took mobile and hygienic toilets to remote villages that don't have proper toilets to use.
The Royal Academy of Engineering is supporting developing countries in so many different ways, which is really inspiring to me.
