WB/IMF Annual Meetings Knowledge Cafe: The Missing Middle: Moving Innovation from the Lab to the Light | October 22, 2024

The literature on private sector innovation documents firmly the existence of a so-called “Valley of Death” between innovation and scale. Much of the same is true for the gap between the innovations in agriculture and food produced by global public goods’ organizations and research  on the one hand, and scale on the order of WBG operations. Investing in the middle space itself is necessary. This Knowledge Café  will share how sectors have invested in the missing middle and reached innovation at scale as a result.
