Fuelling the Movement: next steps for the tech for good community ⛽
On Tuesday, we hosted our first Tech For Good London meetup of the year. With an excellent turnout, we took stock of how far the tech for good movement has come, and what steps can be taken to keep the movement growing strongly.
Here’s a quick look at the highlights of what we learned:
-
48% of attendees work in startups, and 19% in charities. Perhaps the next frontier for the community will be to build bridges to government, academia and corporates.
-
For 69% of attendees, this was their first meetup.
-
The climate crisis, inequality, and mental health are the most popular subject areas to address.
This adds to countless more viewpoints, conversations and connections discussed throughout the evening.
We were kindly hosted by Pivotal UK, who have recently launched Pivotal Act - which partners with humanitarian organisations and charities to co-create tailored tech for good solutions to their challenges.
As this Mozilla guide notes, with great tech comes great responsibility, so we’ll keep up the mission of convening and supporting the tech for good community going forward.
If you would like the slides, please get in touch. To help fuel the movement, make sure to join our meetup group (and get everyone who might be interested to subscribe to this newsletter).
