Open for Business: Pathways to strengthen CGIAR's responsible engagement with the private sector

We welcome the initiative of the Netherlands to highlight ideas to build on CGIAR’s successful engagement with the private sector. This special report brings a welcome new perspective to some of our past achievements while also helping chart a way forward.

The ‘CGIAR 2030 Research and Innovation Strategy’ emphasizes a new breed of partnerships to respond to today’s complex and interlinked challenges. And private sector partnerships are an essential piece of the puzzle. Bringing a business focus to our work is fundamental to bridge the gap between innovation and use.

Crucially and with no time to waste as climate change imperils food systems, private sector partnerships will accelerate impact at scale.
