Agirre Lehendakaria Center presented its K-tool at the UNDP Knowledge Summit, held on 19–20 November in Dubai. The session, organized by UNDP, brought together public officials, development professionals, think tanks, and academics to explore how development intelligence can enhance policy design and decision-making in an increasingly complex world.

Gorka Espiau participated as a speaker in the roundtable “Development Intelligence as the ‘Operating System’ for More Effective Policy & Decision Making.” Other speakers included Dr. Justin Lane, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of CulturePulse; Mohammed Salih, Deputy Resident Representative, UNDP Libya; Pedro Conceição, Director of the Human Development Report Office, UNDP; and Sibel Saylan, Partnerships Specialist, UNDP ICPSD. The session was chaired by Jennifer Colville, Innovation Team Leader, UNDP Regional Hub in Amman.

During his intervention, Espiau demonstrated how K-tool integrates data, citizen knowledge, and narratives to support continuous learning and real-time decision-making. The tool was presented as an example of an application within the new approach to development intelligence, promoting more anticipatory, co-created, and connected systems.
