Impact First Summit

The Impact First Digital Development Summit aims to create a space for technologists, global development experts, private sector entrepreneurs and global development funders where together we explore the possibilities of achieving impact through technology and data innovations. 

By showcasing not only cutting edge technologies but tried and true approaches, we want to see how and where scale and impact has been achieved within a variety of development sectors. We believe that technical approaches should not be applied to individual sectors alone, and by understanding the broad application of technologies across agriculture, health, education, governance and environmental sectors, we can make meaningful gains.
