Social Tech Entrepreneurs Get 1M Grant To Address UK And Global Social Issues
One of the areas of the tech scene in the UK which has received a lot of enthusiasm in the UK has been social entrepreneurship, especially in tech. But until now, not a great deal of money has gone into the area. That changes today with a new initiative from Founders Forum for Good, the entrepreneur organisation, and the Nominet Trust non-profit. Launched today by Annika Small, CEO of Nominet Trust, and Martha Lane Fox in front of Founders Forum attendees the new partnership, "Social Tech, Social Change" will put 1 million into 20 new ventures that have radically new ideas of how technology can tackle major social issues such as social care, child welfare, education, health and environment.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/L7vU2mY9xlk/
