Welcome to Invennovations.com!


Invennovations.com is a free resource designed to capture and disseminate the inventions and innovations being created and implemented around the world to serve vulnerable populations. It is an effort to support those working in the field in developing countries as they seek to facilitate positive impact at the base of the pyramid.

  • Are you an organization working to create access and opportunity in low-income villages but haven’t been able to find the right products?
  • Have you designed a new solution for health problems in the developing world but haven’t been able to find the right distribution networks?
  • Are you an NGO looking to increase the opportunities that you provide, but aren’t sure what else you can do?
  • Are you working in one country and hoping to expand, but don’t know where your help is most needed?
  • Are you interested in what’s happening in international development and looking for a “one-stop shop” where you can learn more?

Invennovations is the solution.

On this site you will find answers to these questions, and more.  We designed Invennovations to address inefficiencies in the design and distribution of products and technologies at the base of the pyramid.  The invennovations on this site—the products, services, and distribution mechanisms—strive to help the world's poor improve their standards of living. These invennovations may have a positive health, economic, educational and/or environmental impact.

We hope that this site will bring together passionate development professionals working in all parts of the field.  We hope that it will connect inventors with organizations, designers with distributors, and be a resource for anyone who wants to learn more about what is going on at the base of the pyramid.
