We\’ve got a question: How do we turn strategies into action for the Sustainable Development Goals and climate action? The answer: GOTIT! Our Global Open Territorial Innovation and Technology Platform is here to turn talk into action.
.
GOTIT isn\’t just a platform, it\’s a solution. It\’s a place where people from all walks of life can come together to make the SDGs a reality. We believe in the power of working together, and that\’s why we\’re here to foster a community of thinkers, doers, and innovators.
Every article, eBook, and resource you contribute to GOTIT adds to our collective knowledge base. They provide the tools and strategies we need to turn our vision into reality.
We\’re not just about action, we\’re about knowledge too. We believe that understanding the SDGs is the first step towards achieving them. That\’s why we\’re committed to producing, sharing, and promoting knowledge that drives SDG achievement.
We\’re not just about producing knowledge, we\’re about using it too. We\’re committed to turning the insights from reports like the GSDR 2023 into actionable strategies for SDG achievement.
The road to the SDGs and climate action is complex, but with GOTIT, we can navigate it together. Let\’s move from aspiration to action, and create a sustainable and resilient future.
We\’re living in a digital age, and we\’re here to make the most of it. GOTIT is a hub for entrepreneurial experimentation, a place where startups, industry, and the private sector can come together to innovate for the SDGs.
We\’re not just looking at the present, we\’re looking at the future too. GOTIT supports the creation of Foresight Roadmaps, helping us navigate our way towards our SDG targets.
At GOTIT, we\’re breaking down the barriers between research, innovation, and policy-making. We\’re here to make sure that financial resources are mobilized effectively for SDG advancement.
Leverage the power of collective intelligence to co-create and enrich the global knowledge base. Design and implement bankable projects for your territories, contributing to sustainable development and climate action goals.
LoremLet\’s make a lasting impact together. Join GOTIT today, and help us shape a future where the promise of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is fulfilled. Together, we can create a legacy of progress and hope for generations to come.

Dr. Merzak, Founding Chairman of the "Territorium Institute" in Ottawa-Ontario, is a visionary leader and strategic architect in innovation, technology transfer, and research for development (R4D). Transitioning from a research scientist, Dr. Merzak is dedicated to championing the co-creation of territorial socio-technical innovation systems, empowering individuals and communities to drive sustainable change and meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement's Net-Zero targets.
His approach, deeply rooted in pragmatism and foresight, has led him to pioneer online platforms that promote social learning and the co-creation of sustainable roadmaps using community scenario planning. Among his flagship creations are sustainopia.world itself, dedicated to equipping individuals and fostering community collaboration for tangible sustainable action; geoscenarios.world, a platform for demystifying global events and exploring future scenarios; and gotit.network (Global Open Territorial Innovation & Technology), which mobilizes global collective intelligence for the achievement of the SDGs in Local Authorities. Dr. Merzak fervently believes in harnessing collective intelligence, tacit knowledge, and systems thinking to co-design brighter futures on various scales, from local communities to nations, with a strong conviction that individual choices and collective endeavors anchor lasting change towards sustainability.
His broader achievements underscore this commitment to individual and community-driven sustainability: catalyzing international partnerships, founding the International e-Gov Forum in Dubai and the International Forum of Local Governments in Morocco, and promoting digital and sustainable projects globally. With managerial experience in a French biotech firm and advisory roles in biotechnology, Dr. Merzak has also orchestrated global B2B events in diverse sectors. Academically, he has served prestigious institutions like Paris-Saclay University and King's College London.
