Pop!Tech Social Innovation Fellowship Program 2008

ACCELERATING THE WORK OF WORLD-CHANGING INNOVATORS

In 2008, Pop!Tech combed the planet searching for visionary change agents incubating breakthrough approaches to the world’s most pressing social, economic, and environmental challenges.  We received more than 100 amazing submissions, from over 30 countries worldwide, and we’re proud to present the most outstanding 16: the 2008 Pop!Tech Social Innovation Fellows.

Each Fellow is working on a transformative solution to a critical global challenge, in categories such as sustainable energy, human rights, education, economic development, healthcare, and civic engagement. Pop!Tech is accelerating the positive impact of their projects by connecting Fellows with world-class thought leaders and a 21st century toolkit—including the latest tools and thinking in emerging technology, design, communications, branding, funding, and scalability.

The program’s faculty led the Fellows through an intensive four-day “boot camp” just prior to the start of “Pop!Tech 2008: Scarcity and Abundance.”  Each Fellow was then showcased at the conference itself, kicking off a year of access to mentors, influencers and resources.
