We're excited to be launching our new monthly breakfast event series 'Products for Purpose'⁠
⁠
On the first Thursday each month, we'll be speaking to people making some of the most interesting digital products coming out of Melbourne, with a focus on social or environmental impact.⁠
⁠
This month we'll be joined by Amanda Robinson, Head of Innovation at Australian Red Cross. Amanda has responsibility for the development of a social innovation strategy to drive impact at scale. She founded the Humanitech 'do tank' within Australian Red Cross, which seeks to harness the transformational power of emerging technology for good by putting humanity at its centre.⁠
⁠
As part of Humanitech, Australian Red Cross is partnering with Type Human to develop a blockchain identity solution to support the onboarding and management of volunteers and staff for domestic and international mobilisation. One of the use cases they’re aiming to develop as part of the identity solution is to ensure that humanitarian workers have the necessary checks and qualifications and can be deployed quickly and safely. The solution is guided by the principles of self-sovereign identity – meaning that it is permanent, portable and private.⁠
⁠
Come along for a coffee and croissant, and hear how this product is aiming to change the experiences of volunteers for the better.⁠
