  The increasingly complex and rapidly changing global health and
socio-economic landscape requires fundamentally new ways of thinking, acting
and collaborating to solve growing systems challenges. Cross-sectoral
collaborations between governments, businesses, international organizations,
private investors, academia and non-profits are essential for lasting success
in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and securing a
prosperous future for the health and wellbeing of all people. Our aim is to use
data science and innovative technologies to map diverse stakeholders and their
initiatives around SDGs and specific health targets - with particular focus on
SDG 3 (Good Health & Well Being) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) - to
accelerate cross-sector collaborations. Initially, the mapping tool focuses on
Geneva, Switzerland as the world center of global health diplomacy with over 80
key stakeholders and influencers present. As we develop the next level pilot,
we aim to build on users' interests, with a potential focus on non-communicable
diseases (NCDs) as one of the emerging and most pressing global health issues
that requires new collaborative approaches. Building on this pilot, we can
later expand beyond only SDG 3 to other SDGs.
