About the Organization

The SDC is the agency for international cooperation of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA). Switzerland’s international cooperation strategy for the 2021–24 period has four strategic goals that address development challenges and build on Switzerland’s unique expertise: 1) creating decent local jobs; 2) addressing climate change; 3) reducing the causes of forced and irregular migration; and 4) promoting the rule of law. The funds that the SDC invests in scientific research count towards official development aid.

The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) is the leading Swiss institution for the promotion of scientific research with an annual budget of approximately 1 billion Swiss Francs. On behalf of the federal government, it promotes basic research in all scientific disciplines. Every year it supports around 3300 projects. It offers a range of research funding schemes and has policies in place to adhere to the basic principles and missions as stated in the Federal Act on the Promotion of Research and Innovation.16 Each funding scheme has its own budget. In so doing, the SNSF seeks to implement the principle of fair competition: applications must always be evaluated in a competitive procedure through comparisons with similar applications.

About the Program

The SNSF and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) launch their second call for proposals for the Solution-oriented Research for Development (SOR4D) programme.

About the Organization

UNICEF’s Innovation Fund invests in early stage, open-source, emerging technology digital public goods with the potential to impact children on a global scale. It also provides product and technology assistance, support with business growth, access to a network of experts and partners to allow for scale and growth. Our ambition is to build successful digital solutions into Global Digital Public Goods, to ensure fair, equitable, and open access to these unique and new tools for human development on a global scale.

The UNICEF Innovation Fund is the first financial vehicle of its kind in the United Nations and enables UNICEF to learn from and to shape markets of emerging technology that exist at the intersection of $100 billion business markets and 1 billion persons’ needs.

Founded in 2016, the core motivation of the Innovation Fund is to identify “clusters” or portfolios of initiatives around emerging technology – so that UNICEF can both shape markets and also learn about and guide these technologies to benefit children. We invest in digital public goods that can impact the lives of vulnerable populations.

We find these solutions clustered around $100 billion industries in frontier technology spaces, such as: blockchain, drones, artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, extended reality and others.

About the Grant

The UNICEF Venture Fund is looking to make up to US$100K in equity-free investments to provide early-stage (seed) funding to for-profit technology start-ups developing software solutions using frontier technologies for climate action. If your startup leverages frontier technology for climate analytics and forecasts, greener economies, climate and disaster risk mitigation, carbon offsetting or emission reduction, or youth engagement around climate action, we are looking for you. If your product is registered in one of UNICEF’s programme countries, is a working prototype, has demonstrated results, and is (or could be) open-source licensed, we encourage you to apply.

Eligibility

Projects are assessed by UNICEF Innovation Fund team and recommended for funding to the internal board. Companies need to fulfill the following mandatory requirements to be considered for funding:                                          

• Registered as a private company
• Registered in a UNICEF programme country (see list here)
