The Forum will examine the prospects for a new vision of development that looks ‘beyond aid’, by focusing on developing capacities in low-and middle-income countries and emerging economies. This engagement will also probe how global collaborations can be used to support research and innovation processes that can enhance this new era of development.
Forum 2012 will investigate 3 main themes in support of these processes:

• Networking and partnerships for research and innovation;
• Creating enabling environments for research and innovation.
The event will act as a platform for dialogue by bringing together close to 500 participants from research institutions, business, social enterprises, governments, international organisations, funders and media. The Forum will bring together the world’s top change makers – from the across the globe – thereby creating an avenue through which they can develop equal partnerships toward effecting positive change for global health.
