    Artificial intelligence (AI) holds significant potential to advance sustainable development; however, realizing this potential requires addressing disparities in access, capabilities, and regional needs. Bridging the digital divideparticularly in AIis essential to ensure equitable access to technology, knowledge, and opportunities across countries and communities.

    The Innovate for Impact initiative aims to promote inclusive AI adoption by collecting, analyzing, and scaling high-impact use cases, while fostering global collaboration among stakeholders. Since its launch in 2024, the initiative has received over 200 use cases and 100+ scholar applications from more than 35 countries, with selected projects showcased through global reports and workshops. These efforts have enabled knowledge exchange, mentorship, and capacity building, particularly for participants from developing regions.

    Building on these achievements, the 2026 phase will focus on deepening analysis of AI use cases across sectors, identifying gaps and opportunities for equitable AI deployment, and supporting the scaling of impactful solutions through mentorship and international collaboration. The initiative will also strengthen scholar engagement and expert exchange, fostering a multidisciplinary community of policymakers, researchers, and industry leaders.

    Through workshops, reports, and collaborative platforms, Innovate for Impact aims to translate knowledge into practice, enhance global capacity, and contribute to the responsible and inclusive development of AI in alignment with global goals.
