Welcome back to the Tech for Good Live podcast! This week we’re recording on the eve of the UK’s Jubilee bank holiday, the country is drowning in bunting, the Queen’s face is being projected and everyone is madly trying to fit 5 days worth of work into 3. What a time to be alive.
Thankfully, we’re not going to be spending this podcast talking about the royal family, and instead we’re diving in the world of tech for good… and probably bad.
We’re having a chat about small businesses, love island, coffins and Meta.
Hosting this week is Fay Schofield, and she’s joined by Dama Sathianathan.
Our special guest for this episode is Kristen Robinson, Head of Advocacy at Open Contracting Partnership.
Check out their 10 point plan to fix the UK's draft procurement bill.
