Elevator Pitch with UNIDO ITPO Global Call Winners The COVID-19 pandemic will have far-reaching and long-term effects on populations and economies worldwide. Besides its immediate impact on health, the socioeconomic consequences of the pandemic are likely to be felt by economic actors over the world, and the populations of developing countries and economies in transition are expected to be among those most vulnerable to suffer from COVID-19-related challenges. The Global Call aimed to identify "Innovative Ideas and Technologies vs. COVID-19 and beyond”, namely scalable solutions to cope with the direct and indirect impact of COVID-19 in developing countries and economies in transition, and their respective needs in the transition to post-crisis socioeconomic realities in the aftermath of the pandemic. Selected winners had an opportunity to pitch their innovative solutions contributing to tackle COVID-19 effects in developing countries and make their economies more resilient, while fostering greener economies, in alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 2:45 - Nnaemeka C.
