Real-world problems are best solved using sustainable technological solutions that operate effectively and at scale. This year’s theme ‘Responsible Innovation for Inclusive Growth’ is a reminder that innovations are not simply about product development; They are about making people’s lives better and developing resilience for future generations.
At Akvo, we believe the future of technology will be in the development of technologies that are sustainable, accessible, and resource wise. There is an urgent need for addressing issues such as water shortage and climate change through innovation. Therefore, by promoting and enabling use of sustainable technologies in communities, India has a major opportunity to use its technology sector to generate new opportunities for economic development; However, all innovation must also have a purpose greater than just making things better. Therefore, we must continue to work toward developing India’s technology sector to have global impact.
