We've moved to Substack! - Tech for Good Issue 65
June 21, 2021
As some of you may have noticed, I’ve missed sending out the weekly newsletter for the last couple of weeks. I’ve been searching for a better solution for sending out this newsletter and that took up all my free time. I have been using Curated.co for the last few years, but unfortunately, their system just didn’t provide the flexibility I needed for this publication. So going forward, I will be using Substack to send these emails! You’ll still be able to find the archive over at techforgood.glean.net if you want to browse some of the past resources.

Happy Monday! I hope your week is off to a great start. This week was a light week for both funding and interesting articles. I've found one great funding opportunity for those of you working on environmental, product delivery, and economic solutions. Also, TikTok is set to launch their eCommerce feature in SE Asia and given the popularity of the platform, it's important for us working in the technology space to be aware of the potential impact this will have on emerging economies. Lastly, on the topic of emerging economies, I've included a fantastic report on the state of FinTech in global emerging economies.

I hope your week is off to a great start! This week I've featured three new funding opportunities from D-Prize, Food Thought, and the Enel Group. I've also found a few articles on social media this week that might be of help for you all. I think my mind has been on social media this week since Cambodia has put a strong lock down in effect for Phnom Penh. Social Media still seems like a place where, in the midst of COVID challenges, we can still engage with our communities. I hope these articles are helpful to you.
