Humanitech
Technology for good
An Australian Red Cross initiative harnessing the power of technology by putting communities first.
Technology can help us to address some of the world's biggest humanitarian challenges.
Humanitech is an initiative of Australian Red Cross exploring the role of technology in meeting humanitarian need.
We focus on leveraging the opportunities it presents to benefit all people and communities, while addressing its risks to society.
We convene partners across sectors to create insights into the humanitarian impact of technology, test and amplify innovative approaches to technological design, and influence for safe, equitable and inclusive uses of data and technology.
