Digital X exists to make scaling digital solutions across
borders faster, easier, and safer. An emergent priority for UNDP
is to scale up what already works, reduce duplication, and
improve coordination across development actors. This is why
Digital X supports scaling digital solutions from not only UNDP,
but also from UN agencies, social enterprises, private sector,
nonprofits, NGOs, universities, and more.
Digital X is created by UNDP’s Digital, AI and Innovation Hub
and UNDP’s Global Policy Network and is made possible thanks to
the generous support from the Government of Japan.
Digital X 3.0 is the next evolution of UNDP's matchmaking platform. This phase focuses on human security and seeks to address the complex security challenges facing individuals, communities, and countries by connecting them with carefully vetted digital tools and innovations.
The Digital X 3.0 Accelerator supports three key solution categories:
Through collaborative matchmaking and strategic outreach, we help UNDP Country Offices and other institutions access the right digital solutions to enhance human security outcomes in their regions.
Digital X works with a network of existing accelerators, foundations, and programmes to filter through thousands of digital solutions and recommend the world's most proven solutions. The Network helps us curate solutions from UN organizations, social enterprises, nonprofits, universities, and more.
