'New' AI solutions in the COVID-19 response: Getting an idea off the ground during a pandemic

"Necessity is the mother of innovation", and the COVID-19 pandemic is no exception. While the rapid spread of the virus has led to unprecedented health needs, it has also created a window of opportunity for innovators globally.

In response, this webinar will bring together innovators from low and middle income countries who are creating AI solutions that specifically address COVID-related challenges. Entrepreneurs will discuss how they transitioned creative ideas to tangible output; highlight the ways the innovation ecosystem has changed in the midst of the pandemic; and reflect on why local ideas can sometimes be the most impactful ones.

Moderated by Natasha Sunderji, Global Health Lead at Accenture Development Partnerships.
