The stories behind the ideas were also compelling. One I was particularly touched by a team of women from Israel who had created an early breast cancer detection device based on her own experiences as a breast cancer survivor.
There were many more great ideas, such as a company from Singapore that has created a platform to enable individuals to create online giving campaigns for non profits.
