We believe technology has the power to make a positive impact on the world and can help countries leapfrog in their development journey. But coming up with life-changing solutions requires more than just innovative thinking — it also requires deep collaboration. And that’s why we’re here. To foster connections between unlikely parties, to generate bold new partnerships, and to build ecosystems that make a real contribution to achieving the 2030 Agenda. The secret to success will be in scaling sustainable development solutions — and we can’t do that without cross-sectoral input. To that end we aim to connect policy-makers, practitioners, think tanks, leading private sector actors, entrepreneurs and other relevant stakeholders with UNDP’s networks. With this system-wide approach, we aim to catalyse new insights and stimulate action on the ground in the countries where UNDP works. Sharing knowledge across geographical boundaries and initiating multi-stakeholder partnerships will accelerate progress. We believe combining the power of partnerships and technology is the key to a more sustainable future for all of us, by all of us.
