The International Development Design Summit(IDDS) is a collaboration to find cost effective technology solutions for the third world. It was first held in 2007 at MIT.[2] It is held annually to study problems in the developing world and create real, workable solutions to them.[3]
"I believe very strongly that solutions to problems in the developing world are best created in collaboration with the people who will be using them", said founder Amy Smith .[3] "By bringing this group of people together, we get an incredibly broad range of backgrounds and experiences.[3]
WorldChanging reported on August 14, 2007 that the results from the first International Development Design Summit (IDDS) had been very positive with end products including an off-grid refrigeration unit tailored for rural areas using an evaporative cooling method to store perishable food and a low-cost greenhouse from recycled and widely available materials.[4]
