GIG

About the project

Global Innovation Gathering is a Non-Profit International Development Cooperation Organisation firmly rooted in the Global South and Established in Berlin in 2017. GIG provides a platform for meaningful exchange by fostering knowledge and collaboration between its members while supporting research in innovation and development, digital rights and the technology ecosystem. It develops collaborative projects in African, Latin American, Eastern European and South Asian innovation communities of practices. With a bottom-up approach to International Development Cooperation, the GIG team emboldens its vision with diverse cultural and national backgrounds. As a GIG co-director, born and living in a Latin American Country, I believe my role is crucial to keep fostering and supporting this bottom-up approach perspective on international development to everyone!
