Harnessing technology as a force for good

Singapore

A SOCIAL networking platform where the special needs community can connect, exchange views and find employment - that was the winning idea at the inaugural Ideas Hackathon organised by software company VMware together with the Association for Persons with Special Needs (APSN).

The event - part of VMware's flagship annual CIO Forum - brought together like-minded organisations and individuals to build technology platforms that would help students from Association for Persons with Special Needs (APSN) strengthen their social, numeracy and vocational skills.
