DEVELOPING CROSS-SECTOR<br />

PARTNERSHIPS AT IBM<br />

WITH MANI DASGUPTA, VP OF GLOBAL ADVISORY<br />

PARTNERSHIPS AT IBM<br />

Mani Dasgupta: How can the private sector to which I<br />

belong really help in achieving the UN SDGs? Yes,<br />

they can bring funding. Yes, they employ many people<br />

and contribute to the GDP. They can commit to the<br />

Sustainable Development Goals through Tracking,<br />

reporting, and making sure they inspire people, but<br />

what they can also do is share the innovations. Share<br />

the development that's happening within these private<br />

institutions. I'll share one example, and this inspires me<br />

to no end.<br />

Mani Dasgupta at The <strong>Global</strong> Goals Summit<br />

Mani Dasgupta: IBM<br />

At IBM Research, we have our own research arm, as some of you know, and we invest<br />

heavily in what's next. What's next in the next five years, ten years, 15 years? They came<br />

up with Watson, which is our AI model and quantum computing. Recently, they<br />

developed something called VolCat, a new innovative model of recycling. VolCat stands<br />

for Volatile Catalyst. We have developed in our research facilities a way to make sure that<br />

plastic recycling becomes not only easy but non-reliant on fossil fuels.<br />
