Disruptive technologies can play a key role in closing gaps in global development. However, relatively little research details how women and other underserved communities are using emerging technologies, or how firms can thrive by ensuring emerging tools meet their needs and are accessible and affordable for all.
IFC works with investees, partners, and stakeholders around the world to close knowledge gaps in inclusive technologies and to build best practices for the global tech sector.
