Tech for Good

An important part of techUK's mission is to ensure we use our platform to improve lives and build a sustainable future for all. See some of our Tech for Good activities and initiatives from techUK staff and members, and get involved today.

🟢🟡🔵🟣

At techUK, our mission is to champion our members and their technologies, preparing and empowering the UK for what comes next. We believe that by doing so, we can deliver a better future for people, society, the economy, and the planet. We are committed to supporting emerging social innovators who are tackling today's most pressing challenges through technology, while also demystifying and unlocking tech's potential, making it approachable and accessible for everyone.

Our Tech for Good initiative is built upon four pillars, each representing a core aspect of our mission.

Empowering people

Active digital participation is vital, but so are positive impacts on well-being, upskilling, diversity, and inclusion. Our goal is to nurture a more inclusive, empowered society through concrete actions.

Strengthening society

Through this pillar, we shed light on technology's potential to bolster society, spotlighting its role in shaping a smarter state that elevates the wealth and wellbeing of all citizens.

Driving the economy

This pillar emphasises technology's role as a force for good, crucial in developing effective policy and regulatory solutions that drive economic digitisation, productivity, and inclusive growth.

Protecting the planet

Rooted in our belief in technology's potential, this pillar highlights its role in driving sustainability and preserving our planet. We emphasise its role in protecting our land, seas, and biodiversity.

📆 Upcoming Events📆

👐 The People Behind Tech For Good 👐

'The People Behind Tech for Good' are a series of bimonthly interviews that aim to spotlight rising social innovators who are addressing today's most pressing challenges through technology. These are techUK member companies' employees/teams/departments (regardless of seniority) who are passionate about a particular topic and who are going beyond their roles (but through their companies) to inspire change.

🪧 TechGiving 🪧

At the heart of innovation lies a profound desire to create positive change. In a world driven by technology, the potential to uplift communities and make a lasting impact has never been greater. TechGiving is a special initiative dedicated to highlighting the remarkable efforts of our members as they participate in charitable events and opportunities that leverage technology for the greater good.
