Harnessing Emerging
Tech for Global Good
Our mission is to combine the latest technology and industry experts to take on climate, health and social challenges we face as a global community.
The problems we are working on
| Worsening Lake Health
Our natural water sources are experiencing major issues. Oceans and rivers are hard and expensive to control and improve, but lakes are within reach. Data and strategies exist to make a difference but we lack the technological infrastructure to gather, anaylze and optimize.
| Growing Misinformation
During the COVID-19 surge, misinformation spread rapidly particularly affecting the most vulnerable group: the elderly. To combat this, Flatiron Foundation collaborated with Facebook and the AARP to address the issue in a targeted and measurable way. The success of this initiative laid the groundwork for the newly launched “Digital Media for Health Outcomes” course from the Yale Institute for Global Health.
