Tech4Good is a new monthly series where we will explore meaningful solutions to the many challenges facing our world, while discussing the role of technology in achieving sustainability.

In our second episode, we’ll be looking at how we can help to empower the youth of today to be the leaders of tomorrow and what help they might need to help them get there. We’ll also be discussing what it takes to help future-proof businesses, so that these new leaders have a clear path towards more sustainable business practices.

Joining us for this conversation is Datuk Arif Mahmood, the founder of SEEd.Lab (The Social Enterprise Education Lab) and former EVP & CEO of PETRONAS Downstream, who’ll also be sharing his insights into the economic upsides of doing good.
