A new report on how international organizations and governments can increase their innovation capacity towards the SDGs by adopting and promoting open hardware was co-edited by Open Bioeconomy Lab member Dr Jenny Molloy in collaboration with the Gathering for Open Science Hardware (GOSH).

The resulting policy brief highlighted the following key messages:

1. International organizations and governments can increase their innovation capacity towards the SDGs by adopting and promoting open hardware.

2. Open hardware can build innovation capacity in countries with low investments in science, technology and innovation, making these investments more efficient.

3. Open hardware enables new multi-stakeholder partnerships and collaborations between academia, civil society and the private sector, towards the SDGs.

4. Open hardware adoption makes science more transparent and participative, supporting global decentralised collaboration.

5. International organizations can promote open hardware expansion by incorporating open hardware (OH) in their strategies, aligning incentives and raising awareness through education and training.

The entire brief is available as a PDF and plain text via the GOSH website.
