The inevitability of a digital, tech-driven future of our world, stands amidst the challenges of climate change. Can this shift be sustainable? The Digital & Green Innovation Accelerator (DGIx), launched this year, champions the belief that yes, digital transformation can pave the way for a sustainable future, especially in low- and middle-income countries.

The programme has been spearheaded by the WFP Innovation Acceleratorand the Smart Development Fund (#SDF), in collaboration with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), and the European Union (EU).
