To learn what kind of ideas and innovations are already out there The United Nations Foundation, in collaboration with the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy and a handful of governments around the world, invited innovators, technologists, engineers and scientists to propose their solutions. Of the 800 proposals from over 100 countries that came in, 14 were selected to present at the inaugural UN Solutions Summit at the UN Headquarters on Sunday, September 27, 2015. Planet OS is truly honored to have been one of the innovators to present our solution creating a search engine for earth data to 250 senior policy makers and technology executives from around the world.
