Tech can spark social change by disrupting the status quo and traditional hierarchies. It enables new forms of collaboration across sectors through open data and co-design with communities. The future involves connecting sectors in an ecosystem approach to collectively address social issues like poverty through innovative digital solutions and rapid prototyping.
