  • How is Telecom and Enabler of Tech For Good, a chat with BT

    Ian Caveney, Head of Tech for Good at BT, talks to Scott Stonham in the Tech With Purpose (Tech for Good) leaders interview series.

    Quote from the interview:  ❝I think you do need the governments and the leaders to set ambitious targets and to drive change, but again it's got to come from the businesses itself. Companies have got to look at themselves and think "right actually if we don't do something about the way we operate we might might not even be here in five to ten years."❞

  • How Can Technology Help Prevent Wildfires and Prevent Billions of Tonnes of CO2?

    Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO of Dryad Networks talks to Scott Stonham in the Tech With Purpose (Tech for Good) leaders series.   

    Carsten talks about his start-up experience and successes, and how whilst watching the news with a friend, they decided to do something good with their experience. Today they build technologies to detect wildfires before they become catastrophes. 

    Quote from interview:  ❝ We use the all of the experience and the knowledge and the talent that we have to do something about it actually to use technology to make a change. A real change. We build an ultra early detection system for wildfires so that we can actually detect the wildfires at the smouldering phase, at a very early stages, and alert the fire brigades so they get a reasonable chance to extinguish the fire before they get turned into catastrophes. ❞, Carsten Brinkschulte

  • Powering flight by beaming electricity from the ground

    In this Interview with Tech With Purpose Leader, I speak with Robert Millman, the CEO of exciting electrical transport company, Electric Sky.  

    In this episode we learn about what drives Robert, his passions and how Electric Sky will reduce carbon emissions by powering flight with electricity beamed from the ground.  

    Quote from the discussion:  ❝We're working on moving people faster, faster and further than they've ever gone before. To do that we have to make flight dramatically faster, high mach, and less expensive which means it has to be much more efficient. Which means it makes a much smaller footprint on the environment❞, Robert Millman.  

    Electric Sky is a very exciting start-up company developing safer, faster, more-economical vehicles for travelling around and off the planet.
