Innovation Market

Learn about current humanitarian innovations

Innovations to improve humanitarian responses.

 
 

Innovators and entrepreneurs can be found all over the world, in big cities, at innovation forums, in rural areas, in refugee camps. They are individuals pushing the way things are traditionally done, to find a better way forward. Maybe efficiency is the focus, or serving a bigger population, or providing products that do more for people.

Below are innovations the Response Innovation Labs are currently invested in incubating, piloting, scaling, and bringing to emerging markets. At the very bottom are a host of other innovations we found interesting and that have the potential to improve local systems. Take your time, browse and discover. Reach out to us directly to learn more and collaborate with us.
