Devin Cook on the World's Biggest Accelerator for Responsible Start-Ups

Our guest in this week's Responsible Innovation Story is Devin Cook, Executive Producer of the Inclusive Innovation Challenge. The initiative tries to find solutions for one of the most pressing questions in this time of rapid digital transformation:

 “How can we use technology to make sure that no one is left behind?”

 

To inject more inclusivity into the digital economy, the Inclusive Innovation Challenges awards winners falling into four focal areas: Skills Development & Opportunity Matching, Income Growth & Job Creation, Technology Access and Financial Inclusion.


Our most important insights from this interview with Devin Cook:

  • Even in times of rapid technological disruption and uncertainty, inclusive and responsible innovation is on the rise globally.
  • Ever more entrepreneurs and investors not only search for “the next big thing”, but also try to design solutions that benefit people and planet.
  • Only if we can reach out to the right people, can we leverage the full potential of inclusive technology.
