About the Summit

The Pathway to 17 Summit is a global virtual event focused on bringing together thought leaders, problem solvers, innovators, industry experts and practitioners working to solve the world’s greatest challenges.  

There are many global challenges which the SDGs seek to solve. The Pathway to 17 Summit was established to bring focus to some of the important strides that are being made to solve these challenges and to share the learnings and best practices which are being used. It is crucial that we find collaborative spaces, such as the summit, to share the challenges experienced, and solutions found and implemented to create sustainable, inclusive, and scalable interventions.  

This year the 4-day Pathway to 17 Summit will span from 11 to 14 November 2024 and will incorporate four key thematic areas, with a strong emphasis on inclusivity and innovation: Gender Changemakers, Innovative and Inclusive Digital Finance, Future SDG Job-Creating Innovations and Digital Public Infrastructure.

This year’s Summit offers a unique opportunity for participants to engage with experts and peers, fostering an environment of knowledge exchange, dialogue, and collaboration. By bringing together diverse perspectives and experiences, we strive to broaden understanding, inspire innovation, and forge a collaborative path towards solving the world’s greatest challenges.
