Of the 1 billion new justice problems globally every year, less than half are resolved. Justice systems are overburdened, and new innovative justice service providers are needed to help close this Justice Gap. Justice-tech startups help people and communities with their most pressing justice problems: from crime, housing, employment, neighbour to family disputes. This new ecosystem of startups is growing in the US, Europe, Africa and The Middle East, and provides a new opportunity for impact investors to invest in SDG 16.3: access to justice for all. In this session you will learn more about justice-tech startups from across the globe, first hand experience from impact investors, and what the challenges and opportunities are in investing in justice-tech.
