BRICS Focuses On Resilience, Startup Fund And Inclusive Global Growth

Key initiatives under the BRICS framework focus on four central pillars: resilience, innovation, cooperation, and sustainability. To tackle global disruptions, pandemics, and climate disasters, measures include the BRICS Integrated Early Warning System for infectious disease prevention, Early Warning Data Integration Guidelines for disaster management, and a Logistics Supply Chain Cooperation Framework. Innovation initiatives comprise the BRICS Incubator Network, a proposed BRICS Startup Innovation Fund, and a digital agriculture network integrating geospatial technology and artificial intelligence. Additional cooperation platforms include the BRICS MSME Cooperation Portal, the BRICS Urban Mobility Hub, and BRICS Connect to boost workforce participation and skills. Sustainable development measures include the BRICS Digital Centre of Excellence for smart grids, clean energy storage, and centres for agroecology and regenerative agriculture. These efforts aim to support inclusive global growth and make adaptable solutions accessible for the Global South.
