Webinar - Why Should We Fund Open Innovation?
Let’s talk money. What is the real ROI when you invest in Open Innovations in Energy Access?
This one-hour Webinar, brought to you by EnAccess and GOGLA, can help you gain clarity about the opportunities of funding & becoming involved in Open Innovation. Donors, implementers and multilateral funding organisations will share their experiences and help you decide if Open Innovation is right for you.
As an Investor or Donor you will learn:
- The “why” behind funding Open Innovation: What is the ROI?

- Impact of funding Open Innovation
Adopters & Developers of Open Source materials will learn:

At the end of this panel discussion, the intention is that the viewer understands exactly what open innovation is, the benefits of financially supporting open innovations, and where to find partners to design programs focusing on open source innovations. Developers will hear directly from donors & funders about what they’re looking for, and should come away inspired to create open innovations within their organisations.
