ANNOUNCING
GLOBAL SOLUTIONS SUMMIT 2019
Building a More Effective and Efficient Ecosystem 
for Scaling Technology Deployment for the SDGs ​​

GLOBAL SOLUTIONS SUMMIT 2019 (GSS 2019) will convene on May 13, 2019 at United Nations Headquarters in New York City.  The theme of this year's Summit is “Building A More Effective and Efficient Ecosystem for Scaling Technology Deployment for the SDGs.” See below for registration information, the  GSS 2019 Background Discussion Paper, and the GSS 2018 Summary and Policy Recommendations.

GSS 2019 will focus on two issues: inclusive disruptive innovation and building a local ecosystem to facilitate technology deployment.  Both are closely inter-related and, indeed opposite sides of the same coin.  

GSS 2019 will showcase specific policies and programs that multilateral and bilateral development agencies, national and local governments, social enterprises, equipment vendors, local SMEs, foundations, and NGOs can support to create a stronger and more vibrant local deployment ecosystem – one that facilitates the deployment of inclusive disruptive innovations on a scale commensurate with the scope of the SDG challenge.
