Next month from October 20-23rd, PopTech’s annual conference will take place in Maine. If you haven’t encountered PopTech before, it’s is a non-profit organization that aims to help scale and accelerate entrepreneurial projects that hold strong potential to positively impact the world.
In the run up to the conference, PopTech has announced its list of Social Innovation Fellows, who they describe as “high potential change agents… working on highly disruptive innovations.” The fellowship consists of full-funding for a 5 day program that offers training in areas like branding, media relations, social media, design for impact and organizational development, as well as the opportunity to make an elevator pitch on stage at the PopTech conference.
Participants following the social enterprise model include Rush Bartlett from LyoGo, a company that has created a safer, relatively easy to use drug delivery system that obviates the need for refrigeration, which the storing of drugs that are unstable in solution form would otherwise need.
