The panelists, Caroline Von Post (Founder and CEO, StormiePoodle), Niclas Ihren (Founder and CEO, Matters Group), and Ali Ghoce (Founder and CEO, Gordon Delivery) started the discussion for the day, expertly guided by Rebecca Oliver as the Moderator. The conclusion – eCommerce has a vital role to play in supporting the SDGs. There are innovative ways of contributing, and Open-Innovators.org can become a platform where interested IT companies find ways to collaborate and contribute.
