What is The Innovation Lab?
Learn what The Innovation Lab is and how it can help you connect with the industry, supply chain, clients and cconsumers
Welcome to Era of We, we’re excited to have you on board! As a member of the platform, you get access to The Innovation Lab – a complete resource guide for traceability and sustainability knowledge. We started out as a platform for coffee lovers and quickly discovered that sustainability and traceability applies to all products and commodities.
Whether you’re interested in learning more about a coffee processing technique, tips for roasting light profile coffees, or how to brew a French press, this is where you’re going to learn how to do it!
To put it simply, you can think of The Innovation Lab as a Reddit or Quora for innovation and sustainability. Our question-and-answer platform allows users to connect with other innovation, traceability and sustainability lovers from all backgrounds of the supply chains and consumers. You don’t have to be a manufacturer or a producer to answer questions, and you don’t have to be a consumer to ask them. Era of We is driven by knowledge sharing to level out the opportunities to all members of the international and national community. The more we spend time talking to each other and listening to each other, the stronger we grow as a team.
These posts are available at any time during your log-in experience, and you also have the ability to save posts for later reading, or to reference for help if you’re in the middle of a project.
In addition to Q&A, we will also feature blog content that gets into the heart of a subject within coffee or other topics. Some topics you may see on the blog include:
- Brewing guides
- Harvest
- Brewing coffee manually, with drip, and
- espresso preparation (brewing recipes)
- The differences between coffee regions
- Gear reviews
- Equipment troubleshooting
- Food sustainability and traceability
- Coffee science
- Drink recipes for either your bar or café
- How to cup coffee
- Origin data
Once again, anybody is welcome to contribute. If there is a topic that you don’t see on the platform, or one that you would simply like to share your own thoughts about, The Innovation Lab is your place to showcase this to a global audience.
