Things to noteAreas in green are time for networking & participation Please put your name on the boards outside if you would like to run a BarCamp discussion or session this afternoon Please do this as soon as possible so that others have time to sign up for your session.

Now time to hear about mobile social entrepreneurs working with FrontlineSMS.

Thank you LauraNow I’d like to introduce Vivian Gee who is Head of Asia at the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship, and a World Economic Forum Global Leadership Fellow. She is responsible for selecting leading social entrepreneurs in Asia, and identifying opportunities for them to engage with global decision makers. Vivian’s prior work experience includes product management and product marketing in the technology sector, as well as strategy and IT consulting, so she is ideally placed to understand what is needed for mobile social entrepreneurship to flourish.
Thank you VivianIt’s time for a break now, until 11.30 when we’ll hear from Neil Davidson, on Mobile Money for the Unbanked. Coffee & Biscuits are available. Please don’t forget to sign up your barcamp sessions.

Thank you IrisMaking Social Apps using mobile technology is all well and good, but what about commercial sustainability? How can we ensure that these are not just social apps, but that they can be widely available and accessible to those who most need them. Answering that question, are Mark Herringer and Linnet Taylor. Mark currently runs Countryman Media a digital agency based in London. Recent work concerns the development of spatially aware applications for web and mobile. He is motivated by the potential of non-market production open source software and open business models.Linnet Taylor is currently conducting doctoral research on migration and the ICT sector in Ghana, where her focus is on the interrelation between mobility and entrepreneurship. She worked as a journalist in Mexico and the US, then joined the Rockefeller Foundation in 2004. There she worked on programmes dealing with creativity and culture, economic security, and international migration and development.
Thank you Mark & LinnetNow, having heard about Social Entrepreneurship at a grass-roots level, we’ll turn to the World Bank. I’m pleased to introduceMr. Deepak Bhatia who is the Practice Leader for E-government applications in the Global ICT Department and manages the Informatics components of Bank loans in several countries.
