Betavine Social Exchange NGO Workshop - Cape Town

Vodacom in hosting a workshop with NGOs on 16 July 2009 in Cape Town to discuss a new concept in mobile application development for social impact - the Betavine Social Exchange.

All NGOs - or those working in the development sector - are invited to join Vodacom to find out more about the Betavine Social Exchange, and to contribute to its development and deployment in South Africa.

Betavine was created to encourage developers to cross over from other types of software development to mobile. Betavine provides a space to learn about mobile development and to participate in it by uploading applications which are then accessible to people directly on their mobile phones via betavine.mobi.

The Betavine Social Exchange is aimed at creating mobile solutions to solve social problems in a way that helps them to be sustainable.
