2021 Digital Square Global Good Innovators Meeting Report

The third annual Digital Square Global Good Innovators meeting was held virtually via Zoom on February 2–3, 2021. The goal of the meeting was to bring together partners of global goods approved through Digital Square, along with the Peer Review Committee and investors, to discuss progress of Digital Square Global Good implementing partners and for the project to share relevant updates for innovators. Around 80 participants convened for each day, which were full of interactive presentations and discussions. The value of the meeting is the connecting of the global good partners. Digital Square is the convener of this community and strives to give the community a platform to share, learn, and connect with each other and other stakeholders like investors.

A few highlights from the two days were eight lightning talks from the global goods partners, a discussion with investors on funding for digital health, especially in regard to COVID-19, and updates on Digital Square market analytics work.
