The Covid-19 has changed life as we know it in many aspects. Whether this change is in the way we live our life, do our businesses, or how we tackle health, this has greatly impacted a lot of us.
Coronavirus Innovation Map is a global directory with hundreds of innovations and solutions that help people cope and adapt to life amid the Covid-19 pandemic, and to connect innovators.
By creating this resource we hope to help teams of innovators to cooperate and build solutions faster. The map will also help the public and private sector identify innovative projects relevant to them by location (from vaccines and prevention to diagnostics and treatment, to life and business adaptation, etc.).
