You never know just how powerful your idea is until you put it to action.
This is why Reckitt Benkiser is launching the 2019 edition of its annual innovation challenge. Tagged“Entrepreneurs with Purpose,” the RB Global Challenge seeks to empower positive ideas that can change the world, #Freedomtosucceed.
The global challenge was initiated in 2017 by this global FMCG brand as a way to discover the world’s brightest and youngest minds whose leading-edge ideas can create significant social impact through any of its brand portfolio – such as Dettol, Harpic, Mortein, Jik, Airwick, Gaviscon, Nurofen, Strepsils and Durex.
This year, the event is bigger and even more intensified with 18 participating countries including Nigeria.
So, roll up your sleeves, put on your thinking caps and get ready to make a difference!
