Open for Registration: 2020 Global Solutions Forum
In the face of the current global health crisis, it is more important than ever to shine a light on transformative and scalable solutions that shape the path towards a sustainable future. In October 2020, SDSN will take the Global Solutions Forum (GSF) to the next level to showcase the eight best solutions coming from SDSNs National and Regional Networks in a one-of-a-kind virtual event.
Brilliant people the world over are implementing local initiatives designed to help achieve the SDGs. These Initiatives are practical projects that can accelerate progress towards sustainable development. But solving the world’s biggest problems isn’t easy and progress is often slow and incremental - to this effect, the GSF aims to bring together sustainable development experts from around the world in an inclusive space to share progress, highlight important takeaways and inspire one another to keep moving forward.

With digital breakout rooms, exhibit halls, and 1:1 networking spaces, there will be ample occasions for valuable networking and the exchange of opportunities for scale-up.
