Emerging tech and social enterprise: going beyond the jargon for social impact

Web3, blockchain and DAOs are increasingly in the news with some championing their potential to create greater equity through greater transparency and decentralisation. In this panel we go beyond the jargon to discuss emerging tech’s potential within the social enterprise movement for social impact and how we ensure that the tech designed for greater equity doesn't in fact do the opposite.
