STEP 5: Decide on investing

in Scaling & Efficiency.

To achieve 'global access to basic needs' scaling is essential as is radical resource efficiency (including capital investments) and Sustainable Production & Consumption. UN #SDG12

A growing & ageing global population requires 'frugal innovation' to provide basic needs to all and give equal access to opportunities.

Technological progress holds the promise to make this possible, but needs steering towards the United Nations Global Goals.

Every technology has impact potential, it is important to discourage harmful applications, encourage revenue making pipelines serving e.g. Middle Income groups to break even & support research & innovation towards positive inclusive impact for the Base of the Pyramid.

Investing in efficiency is investing in sustainable production & consumption for inclusive societies.

Impact Investment focus is on #SDG12: sustainable production & consumption for inclusive societies.
