Mark Walker from AbilityNet says:
“We are surrounded by stories about the harm that digital technology can do, but the Tech4Good Awards celebrate the amazing people and organisations who use tech to make the world a better place. Their hard work and creativity inspires us all to use tech to address the world’s biggest problems – from sustainability to disability inclusion and healthy lives for all.
“From game-changing startups to inspiring volunteers, some use existing tech in smart new ways, while others push the boundaries of innovation, such as using Artificial Intelligence to help solve some of society’s biggest challenges. By sharing their stories, we can inspire others to unleash the power of Tech4Good.”
Catherine Grinyer from Attendable, Tech4Good’s strategic delivery partner, says:
“There is an awesome global community of entrepreneurs and innovators using tech to solve some of the biggest issues we face such as social inclusion, disability, education and sustainability. The Tech4Good Awards celebrate the new tech and innovation that are being used to make the digital world a better place. We can’t wait to shine a light on the nominations.”
Award partners include AbilityNet, Attendable, Access Austria, Access Israel, Crowdfunder, Deque, Fundacion Once, Good Things Foundation, IAAP, inABLE, Planet Abled and Valuable 500 who will be helping us reach networks across the planet.
