Scaling Circular IT for Social Value and Digital Inclusion
Join us in person for an exciting event all about circular IT and how it's shaping social value and boosting digital inclusion. Whether you're passionate about tech or social impact, this is your chance to connect, learn, and explore innovative ways to make IT more sustainable and accessible for everyone. Don't miss out on great conversations and fresh ideas to help scale the future of circular IT!
The Tech-Takeback Foundation’s work demonstrates a proven, scalable model: £30+ million of social value generated through supporting over 1000 individuals out of digital exclusion, using devices already in circulation. The session reframes digital inclusion not as a charitable add-on, but as a critical infrastructure challenge, where access to technology underpins participation in education, employment and public services.
The event, graciously hosted by SEC Newgate at their wonderful offices in Farringdon, will focus on how cross-sector collaboration, linking corporate IT asset flows, secure reuse systems, and community delivery, can unlock measurable outcomes aligned with ESG priorities, public policy, and net zero objectives.
