TED Podcats of Jacqueline Novogratz and Iqbal Quadir available

Filed in archive Social Enterprise by Editor on October 11, 2006

I was notified that TED (Technology Entertainment Design) has put up two podcasts from the TED Global 2005 that should be interesting to some of our readers. They also let me know that they have a yearly technology conference in Monterey, CA (where I just moved AWAY from, so maybe I'll be able to get to their next one.

The first is of Jacqueline Novogratz, founder and CEO of Acumen Fund. Here she's talking about new approaches in foreign aid (something we were ruminating about earlier today), especially when it comes to Africa.

There are both video and audio podcats, with the video file name being: jacquelinenovogratz_2005.flv

Second is Iqbal Quadir, co-founder of GrameenPhone, an innovative wireless
operator offering services to poor rural villages in Bangladesh. In

to rural areas (connecting the village to the world, creating business
opportunities, and generating over time a culture of entrepreneurship.)

This talk is also in video and audio, and video filename is: iqbalquadir_2005.flv
