READY, SET, LAUNCH brings a sharp focus to the critical pivot from global product development to targeted country selection and launch planning. With input from a diverse set of practitioners and lessons gathered from successful and not-so-successful launches, this work brings together guidance, tools, and case studies to support the development of a country scale-up strategy and operational launch plan.

A panel of global health practitioners – innovators, manufacturers, implementers, and donors – will share their experiences introducing global health innovations grounded in the lessons from READY, SET, LAUNCH and discuss how we can practically put its principles to use.
