I just want to congratulate Seed Alliance for terrific work. We started this collaboration ‑‑ it's actually started on IGF 2011 when I met Seed Alliance in the presentation of the award winners, and we had our formal cooperation started last year, and this is a great opportunity for SIDA to support innovative initiatives ‑‑
[ Music ]
Thank you for the compliment.
‑‑ to support initiatives and also to find smaller projects that SIDA is not really able to otherwise find. And one great thing about Seed Alliance is the context and it's built up by three regional organisations: APNIC, AfriNIC and LACNIC which I think this collaboration stands for both the local context but also the global cooperation which I find is one of the great things about Seed Alliance.
I won't say much more but thank you all for the good cooperation in the Seed Alliance, and thank you all Awards and grants winners. You have done a marvelous job. Thanks.
[ Applause ]
>> All right, so now we have the videos and we're going to play all three videos in one go.

[ Applause ]
>> So before closing this session, I just representing APNIC, one of the three RIRs supporting the Seed Alliance would like to mention three messages. One is APNIC is committed to the Seed Alliance. We will continue to strengthen our work with LACNIC with AfriNIC to keep this project going.
Number two, we would like to continue doing this, bringing the award winners to events like IGF. These are innovations, grassroots innovations, that delivers real benefits, real‑world problems, solve real‑world problems, and the Governments, the Civil Society, the businesses need to hear from them, so we would like to see more of the winners being a speaker, a moderator, or a panelist on sessions in IGF.
And third and last message, of course, is for us to thank all the donors, the supporters, the sponsors of the Seed Alliance, and without your continuous commitment, we cannot keep this going. So please do maintain the support, and so we keep the innovations, stream of innovations, going to the future. Thank you very much.
[ Applause ]
>> So as for lunch, if you can't find food on the ground floor, you might be able to find it on the second floor. They're still there. Thank you.
Group photo for the winners, for all three programmes, please. Thank you.
