Pop!Tech - Social Innovation Fellows
Pop!Tech looks like a mini-Ashoka, with a focus on technology:
“Around the world, visionary change agents are hard at work incubating new approaches to the planet’s toughest challenges. Yet they’re often doing so without taking advantage of the latest tools and thinking in technology, communications and innovation – or a network of experts, peers, and supporters who can help them truly change the world.”
I like that Pop!Tech aims to select “highly disruptive” innovators and innovations. Disruptive, huh? Sounds fun!
In addition to the video, the list of 2008 Fellows highlights the projects of each of the Fellows, and has videos about their projects.
