Tech Beyond Borders
summary
Tech Beyond Borders reports visits to six countries — Nepal, Myanmar, Cambodia, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia — and gives concrete findings: intermittent electricity and outsourcing-heavy shops in Nepal, women at 5–10% there and about 10–15% in Malaysia not 40%, an NGO training developers, a startup weekend that prototypes an Uber for tuk tuk, and an Indonesian mobile app built to get young people out to events. Each example names the constraint, the tool used, the number, and the product outcome.
