The NOVUS Summit aims to bring together the science, technology and innovation community around the world and channel its expertise towards actionable changes and scalable solutions. NOVUS 2016 will showcase 17 “voices of positive change” that bring together technology and humanity in support of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Summit will aim to incorporate available technology innovations in order to achieve the SDGs. It will serve as an intergenerational platform to inspire all generations to unite for positive humanitarian impact, and find ways to promote the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development through sharing experiences of transformation and resilience. The Summit is an independently organized event, supported by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA).
