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.
