Description

Benjamin Tincq:

"We chose to focus our work on three core components of this operating environment: Technology (for Impact), Entrepreneurship (and how best to support it), Venture Funding (and how to do it right). We aim to produce a synthetic overview of the opportunities and challenges along these themes, hoping it will help others develop a healthy Tech For Good ecosystem.

Technology — where and how can tech make the biggest difference in tackling the world’s toughest challenges?

We aim to make sense of the rapidly evolving technological landscape, map the most promising areas of impact on SDGs, and highlight key challenges and pitfalls. We will explore subjects like blockchains for supply chain transparency, drones for reforestation, machine learning to decrease unemployment, sustainable protein made by synthetic biology or from insects, low-tech networks to empower local farmers and digital platforms to distribute clean water. We will also highlight the sectors where we think a technology breakthrough is necessary, and where innovation is more needed in the distribution or business model."
