Why TradeLab?

Since the inception of TradeLab, we have trained over 900 students from countries all over the world. In that time, TradeLab students have produced over 300 unique projects for almost as many beneficiaries.

We have grown from just a one clinic to a network of 15 members and 3 pilot clinics spread worldwide. Some of our alumni have even returned to TradeLab to serve as expert mentors, beneficiaries, or clinic supervisors.
