Innovative technologies have a central role to play in the effort to alleviate poverty, whilst they must at the same time be socially, culturally, environmentally and economically accepted by the stakeholders. This conference focuses on the key factors that determine whether a technology will succeed in its aim of poverty reduction.

By offering a high-level platform for cutting-edge discussions to be held in the field of technologies development, the conference hopes to provide a forum for this important issue to be addressed. Early registration will be open until 30 April.
