Civil society & social
entrepreneurs: Apply to attend the President of the United Nations General Assembly's
High-Level SDG Action Event on Innovation and Connectivity.
Giant leaps in technological
advances are converging to make the unthinkable possible. These advances are
also raising questions on societal impact. Recognizing the need to support UN
Member States and the UN System to adapt to this rapidly changing landscape,
the President of the UN General Assembly, H.E. Peter
Thomson, will convene a one-day SDG Action Event on Innovation and
Connectivity. The Event will be held on 17 May 2017 at UN Headquarters in New
York.
During the event, leading
innovators from the major corporations of the world will interact with Member
States on how emerging technologies can transform efforts aimed at the
successful implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and
its Sustainable Development Goals.
At the request of the Office of
the President of the General Assembly (OPGA), the UN Non-Governmental Liaison
Service (UN-NGLS) is facilitating a process to enable stakeholders to apply to
