With an increase in public consciousness about tech, as well as the number of businesses looking to create tech innovations that are both profitable and good for society, a transformative change is on the horizon. Tech for Good is a growing movement that continues to gain popularity, but what does it actually mean?

Discover some of the main challenges organisations in this sector face, how we can measure the impact of Tech for Good businesses, and find out how we can make sure sustainability and inclusivity are baked in from the start, when designing and building products, services and businesses.
