Whether it’s open conflict, harsh weather or preparing for demonstrations, the innovations exhibited on the sidelines of the 32nd Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent in Geneva, Switzerland, explore the potential for technology to support global development and humanitarian aid in the most extreme conditions.
Shaun Hazeldine, Cecilia Braedt, Christian Rouffaer and Tarun Sarwal specialize in innovation at the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. In this video they showcase some of the most exciting technologies currently supporting aid efforts and answer the question, “Where does innovation do the most good?”
