The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), in collaboration with Digital Pathways at Oxford, the Inclusive Business Action Network (iBAN), the Honey Bee Network, and the Gujarat Grassroots Innovations Augmentation Network (GIAN), is organizing a Forum on Frontiers of Inclusive Innovation: Formulating Technology and Innovation Policies that Leave No one Behind. The forum is taking place through a series of six online sessions in November and December 2021.  

The final policy exchange explored how to promote inclusive businesses based on the experiences and mechanisms used by ASEAN countries. It specifically explored opportunities to build synergies among efforts that promote inclusive businesses, social enterprises, and impact investments.
