Frontier Futures for Children

Frontier Futures for Children is a UNICEF Office of Innovation podcast exploring how advanced technologies are being used to tackle challenges affecting children, young people and their communities. From AI to blockchain, the series focuses on the practical realities of deploying frontier technology solutions, especially in emerging and low-resource settings.

Hosted by tech and business journalist Maddy Savage and UNICEF’s Yemi Lufadeju, the podcast is designed as a global public square for the tech and social impact ecosystems.

Across the series, businesses, investors, non-profit organisations, journalists and academics share hard-won learnings, examining both the opportunities and the challenges of using frontier technologies to create real-world impact.
