Impact-driven Visionaries Sustainable Innovators Technology Pioneers

Eight years after the world community adopted Agenda 2030 and its SDGs, progress is lacking. Essential health services are out of reach for at least 50% of the world’s population. Approximately 2.4 billion people do not have access to adequate sanitation. Almost 840 million people have no access to electricity. Nearly 700 million people do not have access to safe drinking water.

These statistics highlight that achieving the SDGs with business-as-usual is impossible. We urgently need to deploy integrated technological solutions at scale. To accelerate this process, collaboration among companies, social and economic actors and policy makers are crucial. G-STIC inspires these groups to work together, think outside the box and develop win-win solutions that benefit the economy, environment and society. 

G-STIC encourages exploring innovative approaches, laws, regulations, and funding mechanisms to upscale and accelerate the deployment of market-ready technological solutions.

This provides critical insights into the levers of change needed to market innovative technologies at scale under different socio-economic and geopolitical conditions.

In turn, this knowledge supports policy makers in developing Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) roadmaps for the SDGs and enables industry leaders to explore new business opportunities.
