The UNHCR Innovation Incubator operates through four thematic funds that support innovation across UNHCR and its partners. Each fund focuses on a key area of humanitarian action and offers tailored support to help ideas grow from concept to impact.
Three funds — Digital Innovation, Data Innovation, and Environment & Climate Action Innovation — are open to UNHCR staff.
The Refugee-Led Innovation Fund is open to all organizations led by forcibly displaced and/or stateless people.

Innovation at UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is a journey from ideas to lasting change. We nurture promising concepts through incubation, acceleration, learning, and capacity building, working closely with partners and communities to scale impact. Together, we create the conditions for humanitarian innovation to thrive.
