The SDG-Driven Tech Innovation Ecosystems project is a practice-based international consortium collaborating to create dedicated pathways to scale innovative, tech-based solutions to the SDGs.
The consortium is comprised of GSG Impact and GSG National Partners in Israel (IFIE), France (FAIR), Italy (SIA), and Portugal (MAZE). The project also involves ancillary partners in Central European (CEE) countries.

With actors, resources, and initiatives often fragmented, members of the consortium have joined together to produce a mapping methodology to help countries map their ecosystems, producing a clearer picture of current strengths and areas for improvement. By identifying these strengths and best practices, the consortium envisions scaling and replicating SDG-driven ecosystems and innovations that are inclusive, sustainable, and better suited to support a just green, digital, and social transition.
