The Global Centre for Technology, Innovation and Sustainable Development (GCTISD) is a joint initiative by the Government of Singapore and the United Nations Development Programme which aims at identifying and co-creating technological solutions for sustainable development.

We are establishing links with many other agencies, Government-linked companies, start-ups and corporates to leverage Singapore’s technology and innovation ecosystem.

The GCTISD’s current emerging areas of work:

• Sustainable Agriculture: Climate change and population growth have increased the vulnerability and volatility of the global food system and the ecosystems that support it. In order to feed the growing world population, we must leverage innovation and technology to drastically improve the productivity, efficiency and sustainability of agriculture.
• Cities and Digitalisation: Digitalisation is a priority pathway for developing countries to leapfrog to a more advanced level of sustainability, resilience and human development. This affects most areas of policy and practice, including sectors like transportation, health, liveability and governance.    
• Financial Inclusion / Impact Finance: More than a third of the world’s population remains without access to finance. Financial technologies and impact finance can help bridge the gap through introducing new processes, products and applications which can be extended to the unbanked.
