Instedd's mission is to improve global health, safety, and sustainable development through: - Building capacity within communities to foster a local culture of innovation - Creating collaboration technologies for social good - Collaborating with end users through a human-centered design and development process - Ensuring usefulness and impact through research and evaluation. We work to effectively bridge the gap between knowledge and action for improved collaboration. We work with governments, universities, corporations, international health organizations, humanitarian NGOs, and local communities around the world. Together we work to identify requirements for enhanced information flow, better cross-sector collaboration, and more effective collective action. Where solutions already exist, we integrate them. If another technology can be adapted to meet the needs, we re-purpose it. If a genuine gap is found, where no solution exists and no market pressures are driving the necessary innovation.
