New Video and Highlights from The Tech Awards
November 2, 2011 by Sally Farhat KassabMissed the Tech Gala and seeing Jeff Skoll presented with his award? Here’s a new highlights video from the evening. An excerpt of Skoll’s acceptance speech:
“And it will come as no surprise that many Skoll supported social entrepreneurs depend heavily upon technology to do their work.
…GPS-enabled mapping technology to protect the Amazon rainforest…solar engineering to enable economic development in the world’s poorest communities
…irrigation technologies that enable rural entrepreneurs to sustain small businesses. As Alexander Graham Bell observed over 100 years ago, “Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of MANY minds.”
I appreciate the Tech Museum’s commitment to cultivating…let’s call it the POWER OF MANY. Each year, Tech laureates become part of a community where rich opportunities for collaboration abound.”
