THIS WEBSITE IS POWERED BY GLOBAL INNOVATION EXCHANGE, A TECH PLATFORM FOR GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT INNOVATIONS.
How to Use this Site
Thank you for visiting covid19innovations.org. Below is an overview and a few tips that will make it easier for you to use the site and quickly get to the important information you need.
OUR OBJECTIVE:
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak a pandemic and a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). Evidence of local transmission of the disease has been found in many countries across all six WHO regions.
The key objective of this site is to aggregate a robust and comprehensive list of innovations that might be relevant to COVID-19 response around the world. This innovation list:
HOW TO USE EACH PAGE ON THE SITE:
Categories - The proposed categories are a rapid and a basic attempt to organize innovations and ideas that might be relevant to COVID-19 response.
Add Your Solution - The list of innovations on the site is designed to develop and grow. Submit additional COVID-19 relevant innovations.
If you have a large number of innovations you’d like to submit for consideration in an automated upload or to discuss ideas for collaboration, contact the GIE team at [email protected]. Where relevant, we will inform actors of areas of overlap or opportunities for collaboration.
Funding – Browse open funding calls accepting applications from COVID-19 relevant innovations.
Resources – Review or contribute blogs, discussions, requests, or ideas relevant to COVID-19 response efforts. All posts will require moderator approval. Browse innovation programs, activities or calls for non-financial support relevant to COVID-19 response.
Innovations - Browse a growing list of COVID-19 relevant innovations that are relevant to your areas of focus.
Use the below-pictured filters to further narrow down innovations:

The key objective of this site is to aggregate a robust and comprehensive list of innovations that might be relevant to COVID-19 response around the world. This innovation list:
- Focuses on innovations with the potential to contribute to responding to COVID-19 in a variety of categories, locations, audiences, etc. in line with WHO’s technical guidance (e.g. don’t require group setting, allowing for social distancing).
- Aims to enable various ecosystem actors to easily and quickly find information about potentially relevant COVID-19 innovations that are out there.
- Is not a recommendation, or validation of the quality of these innovations. Instead, this site crowdsources information from key actors in the ecosystem and asks the user to apply their own parameters for what might be relevant and appropriate for their situation. We ask our users to apply a do-no harm approach to considering these innovations and do their own due diligence.
- Encourages users to contact innovators that might have promising innovations to explore their relevance and ability to deploy to their unique COVID-19 situation.
- Additionally, the site also allows innovators to find and see where funding opportunities for innovations exist around COVID-19 (The site does not guarantee funding to innovations submitted on the site)

Use the below-pictured filters to further narrow down innovations:
- COVID-19 Category refers to the GIE-assigned categorization of the innovation relevant to COVID-19.
- Focus Areas refers to the general sectors or cross-cutting topics the innovator has self-assigned for their innovation.
- Implemented In refers to which countries the innovations are implemented in.
- Stage refers to the innovation’s stage of development and scale self-reported by innovators.
- Funded By and Recognized By refer to the organizations or programs that have provided funds or recognitions respectively to innovations.
- To limit to "Verified" innovations, switch on the toggle to the right of Show Verified Only and see the innovation’s Milestones section for which agencies have provided Verified support for the innovation.
