Why Tech4Good?
Recent technology innovation gave unprecedented opportunities to shape a better world and solve social, economic and environmental challenges.
The need to improve access to education, health care, and transportation or tackle gender inequalities and environmental issues is now urgent. In 2015, The UN created 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) to transform our world.
