Ericsson is exclusive sponsor of Mashable Social Good Summit (#socialgood)
To increase awareness of how Technology for Good is changing the world, Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) is the exclusive sponsor of the second annual Social Good Summit in New York City, presented by Mashable, 92nd Street Y and the United Nations Foundation.
Ericsson will present four topics during the course of the summit, consisting of discussions with public and private leaders in the fields of education, maternal health, micro-finance and technology.
The Social Good Summit (September 19-22) will engage high-level influencers, innovators and bloggers to explore how Information and Communications Technology (ICT) can address some of the world's most compelling issues today and tomorrow.
Ericsson President and Chief Executive Officer Hans Vestberg and Jeffrey Sachs, Director, The Earth Institute, will take the stage on September 20 to discuss 21st century education for all in a networked society.
Elaine Weidman, head of Sustainability, Ericsson, says: "In today's Networked Society, broadband and ICT represent a force for good that is helping the world to be a better and more sustainable place. Global challenges such as poverty, refugees, natural disasters and the environment can be addressed by making mobile broadband services available and affordable to the majority of the world's population.
"When we add the rapid deployment of powerful mobile devices and cloud computing, we see the Networked Society expanding to fundamentally change the way we work, live and interact. This is what we mean by 'Technology for Good'," she concluded.
The Social Good Summit will be streamed live and can be found at on Mashable.com throughout the Social Good Summit, at www.livestream.com/mashable and on www.ericsson.com
The agenda for the four days is presented on http://mashable.com/sgs/agenda/
