Open Database of Projects
Welcome to Innovation Routes’ Database: an open, collaborative database designed to showcase innovative initiatives emerging in underserved and low-resource contexts. This tool is intended for:
Professionals working in development, innovation, or social impact ;
Researchers exploring grassroots innovation and bottom-up approaches ;
Curious minds interested in discovering transformative local solutions.
We highlight initiatives across sectors such as education, health, environment, social inclusion, and more. Each entry features key information on location, addressed issue, project description, and relevant links.
Contribute
We invite anyone to submit projects they find inspiring or impactful. Submit a project below to help grow this collective resource. The aim is to amplify innovation where it’s most needed.
We work on ventures that sit at the intersection of policy, technology, and inclusive development, from digital infrastructure to civic innovation. Three criteria must be checked: the initiative must be innovative, address a real-world issue, and have a potential for scaling and be applied in other places.
