An introduction to the multimedia project Tech4Humans. Here you will find information about the content, format, mission and vission of this project.

2. Welcome About Tech4Humans
Tech4Humans
is a global journey of searching for the meaning of social
innovation from the people driving it forward.

3. Hi there! About me
CARLOTA CALDERÓN
I’m Carlota Calderon, Founder and Content Creator of
Tech4Humans.
Before starting this journey, I was working in London, first as an
editor for Skype, then and as a digital marketing strategist for a
variety of tech startups. My role involved making highly complex,
technology topics accessible to different audiences who were mostly
online.
Before coming into this sort of role I was a journalist, and I focused
on social issues especially those arising from austerity policies in the
UK and in Spain.
In August 2017, I decided to start Tech4Humans to combine my
commitment to social issues, my passion for journalism, and my
expertise in tech communications into a multimedia project I’ve
called Tech4Humans.

4. What is...
“Social innovation is a novel solution to a social problem that is more effective,
efficient, sustainable, or just than existing solutions and for which the value created
accrues primarily to society as a whole rather than private individuals.
”
Social innovation?
Stanford Social Innovation Review

5. Why...
I believe the time for social
innovation is NOW
01 The problem:
Systemic crises and
lack of impact from
traditional actors
02 The potential:
Disruptive technology,
hyperconnectivity and
collaboration tools
03 The solution: New
financial instruments &
business models for
social entrepreneurs
Am I doing this?

6. A multimedia project
What is... Tech4Humans?
Tech4Humans is a journalistic, multi-media
project.
Here you will find interviews with visionaries,
pioneers and people like yourself who want to
make the world a better place and believe social
innovation is the right vehicle to achieve their
means.
I’m starting this journey alone with the
intention to grow Tech4Humans into a
community of storytellers passionate about
spreading the positive message of social
innovation.

MISSION
My mission is that these stories inspire you to
join the movement of digitally skilled people
with a social purpose. I want everyone to know
that whatever their skills are, whatever social
challenges they want to solve, there are means
to achieve their goals, communities to support
them and lasting social impact to make.
I also want to use this opportunity to connect
you with visionaries, pioneers and other people
like yourself so that you are able to find your
own network, share knowledge and improve
the social reality.
Finally, I want you to take action, so that
together we create the best version possible of
our world.
