The Global Innovation Fund is a non-profit, impact-first investment fund headquartered in London with offices in Washington, D.C., Nairobi and Singapore. We invest in developing, rigorous testing, and scaling up new products, services, business processes, or policy reforms that are more cost-effective than current practice and targeted at improving the lives of the world’s poorest people. Through our grants and risk capital, we support these breakthrough solutions from for-profit firms, non-profit organisations, researchers and government agencies to maximise their impact and catalyse meaningful change. Because the best ideas for solving some of the world’s most critical development problems can come from anyone, anywhere, we provide an open window to receive innovative ideas and assess whether they are right for GIF investment.
