The event gives us an opportunity to bring together our existing innovators, as well as promising candidates for the Round 7 awards. This year, our program received an impressive set of over 500 applications.

The DevelopmentXChange is a key feature of the Saving Lives at Birth program, bringing together a community of diverse innovators who are tackling this challenge through advancements in science and technology, innovative service delivery models, and novel demand generation approaches. Over 6 years, we have sourced and supported 107 distinct innovations and seen many of our recipients achieve global recognition and accolades. We invite you to Washington, DC, on July 27 to meet our inspiring innovators; they are some of the most cutting-edge innovators in the sphere of maternal and newborn health.
