   Technology for Good #19: Women in Tech – Anousheh Ansari, CEO, XPrize Foundation

   Since I was very young, probably six, seven years old, I was fascinated with the night skies. I would look at these beautiful, shiny objects in the darkness of the night sky and wonder what they are, why they're bright, you know, how I can go get closer to them. I wanted to go to space to touch them, to understand them. And this question, as I grew a little bit older, the question of, you know, why are we here? What am I doing here? What is this, how this world came to be and the role of humanity and the place we are in time in the grand scheme of things. So these questions are, and my curiosity to find the answers to these questions, what drew me to math science and got me set up on my path to actually being where I am an engineer, a business woman, and an astronaut." Anousheh Ansari, CEO, XPrize Foundation For 5 episodes of Technology for Good, we are focusing on technological challenges and opportunities through the eyes of some incredible and inspirational women in tech, in the run up to and during the ITU Plenipotentiary Conference, or PP-22.

As the world is becoming a global village, we also have to deal with waste from technological products that are becoming a growing concern, especially for the sustainability of our planet. I think there is an opportunity to innovate, and technology has proven itself as a catalyst for innovation... using technology as an opportunity to preserve the planet. Hon.

   Technology for Good #17: Women in Tech - Sinead Bovell, Founder, WAYE and Youth Tech Leader

   “We always think about the socio-demographic factors of how technologies are built, intersect with socio-demographic factors such as race, gender and sexual orientation. And it is really important that those who are building these technologies are aware, are reflective of our diverse backgrounds, ideas, our beliefs, all of that. That is how we get our future technology right.” Sinead Bovell, Founder, WAYE and Youth Tech Leader For 5 episodes of Technology for Good, we are focusing on technological challenges and opportunities through the eyes of some incredible and inspirational women in tech, in the run up to and during the ITU Plenipotentiary Conference, or PP-22.
