Why should you participate in the N2Y4 Mobile Challenge?

Now in its fourth year, NetSquared continues to encourage dialogue among people working at the intersection of technology and progressive change initiatives.  Challenges are an excellent way of spurring discussion, highlighting innovative ideas, and catalysing collaboration around new tools.

This year, N2Y4 focuses solely on the use of mobile technology in social change.  Here are a couple of facts to consider:

  1. Mobile phones are in the hands of 2.2 billion people around the world. That’s a lot of people.
  2. Mobile technology provides every day people with unprecedented computing power and an ability to share information in real-time.

The creative possibilities for communities everywhere are tremendous!

Whether you’ve participated in a NetSquared Challenge in the past or you’re new to the process, there are multiple ways you can get involved in the N2Y4 Mobile Challenge.
