From Ideas to Impact: Co-Designing Solutions for a Better World with Ana Pantelic

Curious about how design can drive social impact? Join us for this interactive talk with Dr. Ana Pantelic, Executive Director of MIT D-Lab and a BU alumna, to learn more about the power of co-design to tackle complex global poverty challenges. Ana has worked across four continents to tackle big challenges – from strengthening social protection systems in Latin America and Africa, to launching a tech-enabled solution that’s increased the financial health of over a million people. In this session, Ana will share how she uses co-design to define problems and create solutions with communities, not for them. You’ll walk away with practical tools, fresh perspectives on poverty and innovation, and inspiration for turning your own ideas into real-world impact.
