UN ESCAP FORUM POLICIES FOR INCLUSIVE INNOVATION AND SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP 27 September 2018 Graha Widya Bhakti (GWB) Building [TENTATIVE PROGRAMME AS OF 19 SEPTEMBER 2018] 2018 PUSPIPTEK INNOVATION FESTIVAL 27-30 September 2018 Center for Research Science and Technology Indonesian National Science & Technology Park PUSPIPTEK Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education The Republic of Indonesia 1

I Background Technology and innovation are a driving force behind economic growth. The ability to innovate is more than ever a major determinant of the competitiveness of firms, regions and countries. Technology and innovation also provide immense opportunities for society and the environment. They have expanded access to basic opportunities and services such as education, health and energy and offered means to address environmental concerns. However, not everyone has benefited from the opportunities offered by technology and innovation. Income and wealth inequalities are on the rise in the Asia-Pacific region. The region s combined income inequality, measured by the Gini coefficient, has increased by over 5 percentage points in the last 20 years. Rural communities, women, people with disabilities, and other vulnerable and low-income communities are often unable to make full use of technologies and innovation. To meet the ambitions of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and leave no one behind, it will be critical to explore ways to promote innovations that focus on delivering on social and environmental concerns, and on expanding access to goods and services as well as opportunities for better livelihoods. Inclusive innovation and social enterprises can play strategic roles in attaining the Sustainable Development Goals and leaving no one behind. Social enterprises Social enterprises are organizations committed to explicitly including social and/or environmental returns as part of its core business while seeking profit or return on investment. While they are gaining momentum across the region, some of the critical challenges facing social enterprises need to be addressed to ensure that social enterprises are financially viable and scalable and that they generate the desired social impact. Governments and other key stakeholders can play an important role in supporting social enterprises in navigating legal structures, gaining necessary skills and accessing financing. Inclusive innovation Inclusive innovations are innovations that serve the welfare of lower-income and excluded groups, including innovations for the poor (pro-inclusive innovation), and innovations by the poor (grass-roots innovation). Most inclusive innovations are developed by firms, entrepreneurs, grassroots innovations and development organisations. However, public policies are still required. Left on their own, valuable inclusive technologies and innovations may not flourish, reach scale, or diffuse. 2

II Objectives of the Forum 1. Share experiences and best practices on how governments can promote social entrepreneurship and inclusive innovation in Asia and Pacific. 2. Contribute to the debate on what are effective means to support inclusive innovation and social entrepreneurship. 3. Identify potential areas for cooperation in the areas of inclusive innovation and social entrepreneurship policies. III Agenda The ESCAP Forum on Policies for Inclusive Innovation and Social Entrepreneurship will be held on 27 September 2018, as part of the 2018 Puspiptek Innovation Festival. This event is planned to be opened by the President of the Republic of Indonesia, H.E. Mr. Joko Widodo. The Forum is open to participants from Indonesia and from the Asia-Pacific region, including: - Government officials from central and local government - Leaders of research institutions and universities - Managers of technology business incubators and science and technology parks - Researchers and practitioners promoting inclusive innovations and social entrepreneurship - Social innovators and entrepreneurs IV The organisers United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) ESCAP s supports member states in Asia and the Pacific with research and analysis, capacity-building and fostering knowledge-sharing in economic and social policies. In the area of social entrepreneurship, ESCAP has actively supported governments in the region on developing appropriate policies to build social entrepreneurship ecosystems. For example, In September 2017, ESCAP convened the inaugural Asia- Pacific Policy Dialogue on Social Enterprise and Impact Investment in Christchurch, New Zealand. More than 40 senior government officials from 17 countries as well as key private sector figures acknowledged that social enterprises and impact investment were critical drivers of innovation for sustainable development. It has also conducted national surveys and legal guidelines on social entrepreneurship. ESCAP has recently launched a programme to support governments across the region to design and implement inclusive innovation policies. The programme offers advisory services to Governments wishing to promote more inclusive innovation. The programme includes a research and analysis component and provides as a platform for expert discussions and knowledge sharing in the area of inclusive innovations.

All the necessary visas, including transit visas, if any, should be obtained before departure from your home country. Please note that you may need a multiple entry visa as your visa could be forfeited by a stop over. The costs of obtaining visas are to be borne by each participant (please see 5. Daily Subsistence Allowance and Terminal Expense). 4. TRAVEL ARRANGEMENT For participants funded by ESCAP: After receipt of your duly signed nomination/registration form and a copy of passport, ESCAP will send a provisional itinerary, i.e. an economy class round trip air ticket by the most 7

economical and direct route from your home city to Jakarta/Indonesia. The participants are authorized to arrive in Jakarta one day in advance before the Meeting, i.e. Wednesday, 26 September 2018 and depart one day after the Meeting finish, i.e. Friday 28 September 2018, depending on the availability of flights. ESCAP will arrange your flight ticket through American Express Travel Agency. Most likely one or two weeks prior to the meeting, the meeting focal point will contact you by email with a provisional itinerary which is determined by UN official travel rules and regulations. You will need to review the itinerary and confirm by reply email by deadline provided; for a ticket to be issued. If you would like to make changes to the authorized itinerary, any such changes ( personal deviation ) could lead to increased costs or additional fees, the difference of which will have to be borne by the traveller. Participants should not purchase their own tickets unless prior written approval on lump-sum travel grant has been obtained from ESCAP, otherwise the organizers will not refund such ticket costs. For the lump sum travel grant: The participant is required to book his/her own ticket and do the reimbursement of airfare with ESCAP. The reimbursement will be the actual cost of the most economical route from the city of departure to Meeting venue, but not more than the "ESCAP approved lump sum". To facilitate the payment of lump sum travel grant, the ORIGINAL OFFICIAL RECEIPT of airfare and copy of actual itinerary used for the trip (as itineraries are subject to change by airlines) are required to submit to the secretariat staff (Ms. Maame Agyeben) on 27 September 2018. An advance copy of receipt is required by email. To note that an invoice is unacceptable and not considered as receipt. If the participant would prefer to travel business class, we would be able to provide you with a lump sum amount similar to the cost of an economy flight and for the participant to make up the difference.
