SDG-Driven Tech Innovation Ecosystems is a practice-based international consortium comprising GSG Impact and our National Partners for Impact investing in Israel (IFIE), France (FAIR), Italy (SIA), and Portugal (MAZE). The project also involves ancillary partners in Central European (CEE) countries.

Between October 2022 - Jan 2023, Consortium partners undertook an extensive mapping of their local market, looking at the policies, initiatives, actors, and resources that shape their local ecosystems. The aim of the mapping was to identify key strengths and barriers in their respective ecosystems, with a view to sharing and building best practices.

Through this mapping, the Consortium also proposed an SDG-driven tech innovation ecosystem Building Blocks Framework capturing the roles and activities of SDG-Driven tech innovation ecosystem components, namely, that of market participant, market facilitator, and market regulator.
