UNAIDS Health Innovation Exchange (HIEx)

The UNAIDS Health Innovation Exchange (HIEx) is a vibrant and neutral facilitator that brings together innovative solutions for health, particularly in the global South. As a multilayered platform, it connects countries and systems, identifies their health-specific priorities or challenges, and works to ensure that investments are channeled to support high-potential innovations for health that help countries move towards impact for the SDGs.

Launched by UNAIDS in Geneva, Switzerland in May 2019, the HIEx as a global entity also advocates for indigenous solutions, local production and multi-sectoral partnerships with communities.

Founded on a shared commitment that no one is left behind in the journey towards the SDGs, the HIEx forges a community of political leaders, decision makers, health experts, technology and science leaders, innovators, investors, accelerators and implementers and all those who can share, explore and synergize efforts for sustainable impact.
