Breaking the Scale Barrier: from SDG Innovation to SDG Achievement
This high-level event, hosted by Her Excellency Ambassador Alya Ahmed bin Saif Al-Thani and opened by UNDP Administrator Achim Steiner will assemble investors, innovators and academia for a discussion on how open innovation can unleash new momentum for Agenda 2030.
