Building Ecosystems

Local and Global Partners

We create global partnerships to strengthen the capacity of local experts and to expand their leadership opportunities. We form these strategic partnerships with international organizations, NGOs, research institutes, universities and industry leaders and startups in robotics, drones, data and AI. This enables us to connect local experts to emerging technologies and opportunities based on their specific needs.

Conferences & Expert Meetings

With the ecosystems we build and facilitate, we want to bring together a wide variety of stakeholders to jointly discuss opportunities, innovations and challenges. WeRobotics Global is our annual conference which convenes our members from near and far every two years to share the latest lessons learned and collaboration opportunities in the robotics for social good space. WeRobotics Global has been described by past participants as the most insightful event they’ve ever participated in. To complement the conference, we organise specific expert meetings to deepen discussions and dialogues. Learn more about our most recent events here.
