Modern technology combined with a social cause and smart content not only solves problems, but it also enhances equality, information access and inclusion. The WSA Winners 2021 provide a meaningful selection of worldwide content-driven applications contributing to the achievement of the UN SDGs – 40 solutions from 29 countries have been awarded by an international jury.
The winners of 2021 demonstrate how content-driven digital solutions decisively support societal challenges and assist to achieve the UN SDGs. The global pandemic specifically demonstrated the importance of digital solutions and this year’s winners are an excellent example of how digital solutions and applications can help protect the environment, support healthcare, provide inclusive and high-quality education, connect people and share relevant information. The winning projects demonstrate the diversity and richness of digital content solutions globally.
Given that WSA had nominations from almost 100 UN member states, there were an estimated 8000 projects and products under consideration, and they have been chosen to be among the 40 most outstanding!
