and thank you don't even joining us here today
00:00:05
i think okay so up link is the open innovation platform of the world economic forum
00:00:12
and our goal is to source and scallop groundbreaking innovations which of tackling global issues
00:00:19
with twenty thirty on the horizon for the sustainable development goals which includes critical issues
00:00:24
such as sanitation and build resilience business as usual is just not an option anymore
00:00:31
we need new ideas and innovations some inspiring on chip in
00:00:35
as you will help us meet the s. t. g. targets
00:00:41
as an initiative of the world economic forum up link leverage is it's networks
00:00:47
i think it as or its role in in ecosystem acts as a facilitator to connect entrepreneur has
00:00:53
with investors corporate partners multinationals and x. but and
00:00:58
other organisations to happens gets to sit to scale up
00:01:03
upping works through a competition framework this is how we source solutions from whatever the world
00:01:09
these competitions and then as challenges and with each of us as a partner as we could we design and don't challenges
00:01:17
that meet the impact objectives of the organisations to source new innovations
00:01:23
the winners of these challenges america's top innovators
00:01:27
and invited to join the docking innovation network
00:01:31
and this is an opportunity to scale up their operations do visibility in public exposure
00:01:37
a facilitated connections in introductions access to select events and capacity building sessions
00:01:44
so up link is on a mission to cultivate this growing
00:01:48
network of entrepreneur has and to inspire multinationals corporations and governments
00:01:53
to join you on entrepreneurial movement so we can
00:01:56
really build a multi multi stakeholder platform to drive change
00:02:04
so where is up link today
00:02:07
having launched he is a good with the world economic
00:02:09
forum doubles in partnership with founding partners cells wasn't annoyed
00:02:15
but make it now have a thriving ecosystems innovation in the
00:02:19
last two years we've run more than thirty challenges and received
00:02:24
over three thousand submissions from all corners of the world and
00:02:28
to date we've recognised two hundred and thirty eight top interfaces
00:02:37
with any opening innovation network which is the when is it
00:02:40
the challenges on chip in as well joining relevant topic areas
00:02:45
such as trees plastic action in addition and we have
00:02:49
to growing communities of malta climate sector economy education and health
00:02:56
we're working to build these communities out further few partnerships with corporations multinationals
00:03:02
documents and other international organisations you can
00:03:05
participate according to that and sustainability strategy
00:03:10
scaling up the will to community it's a particular focus for twenty twenty two
00:03:18
so considering black up link sits within the and how we operate within the whole innovation landscape
00:03:26
but i think is the key impacts platform of the world economic forum
00:03:29
which is an international organisation for public private cooperation founded in nineteen seventy one
00:03:36
and with our mission to convene the there's a shape the
00:03:38
global agenda and itchy impact together to form provides and that work
00:03:43
and a platform of projects and initiatives which the top innovators can connected
00:03:49
one example is one t. dot will which is of the global initiative to conserve agree to use
00:03:55
but actually injuries all over the world and and wanted oh
00:03:58
i've actually led up in challenges to solve high impact innovators
00:04:02
you can collaborate with regional focus areas such as india so hello and and and yams and
00:04:09
likewise with g. pap group label plastic action part shit
00:04:13
i've worked with us to source innovations you continued international partnerships
00:04:18
and we were the runner challenge in indonesia and we plan to do so so darn uh and other regions in southeast asia
00:04:29
so looking at the impact about link these numbers illustrate the high quality and high impact of entrepreneurs
00:04:35
supposed to the platform in these i think is the stuff that led by the top innovators themselves
00:04:44
considering our organisational model this is illustrated best drop partnerships
00:04:49
so our founding partners without falls into lloyd they are into um we've been watching that we
00:04:54
can for two years and they are integral to the continuous development and design of the platform
00:05:00
we have our founding partners to enable us to operate the different challenges
00:05:05
and the and the funding partners will need to challenge
00:05:08
