The Centre for Global Equality (CGE) is a Cambridge, UK-based civil society organisation that evolves innovative approaches to solving global challenges relating to food, water, energy, health, education, work and the environment. We have developed an approach we call Inclusive Innovation, which is inclusive in both purpose and approach.
