    UNDP and Samsung’s partnership is a clear example of how innovation and technology can have a direct social impact. In 2019, UNDP and Samsung partnered to advance the progress of the Global Goals. As part of this innovative digital partnership, we launched the Samsung Global Goals App—a first-of-its-kind platform to raise awareness about the 17 Global Goals. The App is the most widely distributed app of its kind, allowing more than 300 million Galaxy users to learn and support the Global Goals. In 2020, the partnership expanded to include Generation17—a platform that supports and amplifies the voices of young changemakers advancing the Global Goals through innovation, entrepreneurship, and activism. To date, through Generation17, we’re supporting two young leaders using AI for their work in ocean conservation and health (bios attached). The App is available in over 80 languages but some of its content is only available in English. To deepen its impact, the app is now using AI-powered translations to make all UNDP content available in multiple languages, making the work of UNDP and the Generation17 leaders more accessible, and expanding global awareness of the Global Goals to more languages. These initiatives show how AI can be a powerful force for inclusion, education, health, and climate action—exactly the kind of future-focused innovation the Summit celebrates.
