Innovating for a World of #7Billion: Executive Roundtable at #SAP

[Former Member]

SAP is partnering with the UNFPA on the 7 billion actions campaign and today, October 24th, 2011, is hosting an Innovation Day. This is a unique day bringing together technology experts, designers, business experts, and non-profits at the SAP Palo Alto Labs to co-innovate and design solutions for the next billion.

I am in Palo Alto live right now, taking part in the Innovation Jam, trying to tackle the challenge of "how to help children in developing countries to get a secondary education (middle school and high school)".

You can see the results live this afternoon at 3:30 PM PT here: http://bit.ly/innoday7bBL.

This morning, SAP hosted a keynote and roundtable, and I summarized the most interesting Tweets on the event hashtags #sap and #7billion below:

Participants were: Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin, Executive Director UNFPA; Jonathan Becher, CMO at SAP; Vishal Sikka, SAP CTO; Timothy Freundlich, President, Impact Assets; Dr. Dickon PInner, Partner, McKinsey; Dr. Kavita Ramdas, Exec Director, Ripples to Waves, Stanford.

TWITTER HIGHLIGHTS:

• RT @jbecher: 1.2 billion people are age 10-19; 88% of those live in developing countries. Next generation #7billion #sap
