Day 3 Friday | The Global Knowledge for Development Summit

Focus

Knowledge represents an indispensable asset to individuals, enterprises and governments alike devoted to the cause of human advancement. The Knowledge for Development Community is at the forefront of a movement that seeks to boost international development by making the best use of the plethora of knowledge and creativity available to societies around the world.
We find ourselves at a momentous crossroads with regard to the future of international development work. In light of the new set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), knowledge must be a priority on the global community’s stated development agenda going forward. The global Knowledge for Development Community is looking to get to the very heart of these questions and to conceive a set of Knowledge Development Goals (KDGs) for the year 2030. Leading figures in the field of development will be invited to share their visions and ambitions to co-create and collectively constitute these Knowledge Development Goals and an Agenda Knowledge for Development. Based on this preliminary, groundbreaking work, a conference in October 2016 will give opportunity to present, reflect, discuss and deepen the draft Knowledge Development Goals and the Agenda Knowledge for Development. Representatives from governments, international organisations, NGOs, multilateral finance institutions, industry and academia will meet to form a living and breathing community of knowledge, following up on and promoting the achievement of the Knowledge Development Goals.
The aim of this endeavour is to generate and synthesise the visions for future Knowledge Societies and to sharpen Knowledge Development Goals and a Knowledge Agenda. The diversity of backgrounds amongst the partners shall reflect the heterogeneity of different knowledge identities and cultures. Partners. We are inviting 50 leading personalities from international organisations, governments, NGOs, industry and academia to contribute a statement to the Agenda Knowledge for Development. Additionally to these we invite individuals from all over the world to contribute statements and positions to this global agenda. Among those 50 leaders who have been invited are: Sebastian Kurz, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Austria Irina Bokova, Director General of UNESCO Jimmy Wales, Founder of Wikipedia and Chair Emeritus of the Wikimedia Foundation Bill Gates, President of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; Founder of Microsoft Javier Carrillo, President of the World Capital Institute
The KDGs we define and the agenda we are setting in the context of this undertaking are in no way binding on the UN, governments, organisations or any other body. Nevertheless, it is our aim to raise awareness, to foster collaboration and to provide inspiration and orientation to those responsible in their societies to promote knowledge for development.
