The presentation will help you to translate your innovative idea into a HuriLab application!

2. Using the online world to change the
offline one
• Social Innovation Camp is a launchpad and
accelerator for technology-based social
ventures.
• We bring together software developers and
designers with people who understand a
social problem and help build web and
mobile-based solutions to social challenges.

3. The web is all about organising
things, differently

4. The web is all about organising
things, differently
More specifically, we’re interested in how you can use
technology to reorganise things: The Internet is good at:
• -- organising things and people in new ways (This is why
it’s really good for new social products and services)
• -- Reaching hard-to-reach/niche populations – connecting
people from around the globe to across the street
• – good ideas don’t have to come from traditional
government or charities any more.

5. Matching technical skill with social need
Bringing together people who understand:
-- social problems (Service users, government, non-profits)
-- technology (Developers, Designers, Business people)

6. Bridging the gap between an idea and
action
And help them go from having an idea or articulating a problem, to doing
something about it. Which is what we’re all about….
