As part of its ongoing knowledge exchange series, LPSA joins as a knowledge partner to a webinar jointly organized by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), focusing on the implementation of Social Innovation Platforms (SIP) across cities.
Date: Wednesday, 29 April 2026
Time: 2:00–3:15 PM (GMT+7 / Bangkok time)
Topic: Leveraging Social Innovation Platforms for Inclusive and Sustainable Local Development
Venue: Zoom Webinar
Registration for this meeting is required.
The webinar will bring together cities that are actively applying the SIP approach within their local contexts, offering grounded insights into how social innovation is reshaping local development practices.
Designed as an open space for peer exchange, the session will connect SIP cities with government partners and practitioners interested in advancing new approaches to local development. The discussion aims to spark reflection on existing practices and inspire cities to explore how social innovation and systems thinking can support more inclusive, sustainable, and future-ready solutions.
