Nokia backs young entrepreneur combating pharmaceutical fraud with mobile phones

GLOBAL – One of the most rewarding aspects of being a writer on Conversations is that we get to bring you the smaller stories that often slip through the cracks of the main stage – worthy tales of the unsung heroes working both within Nokia and outside, with Nokia’s support. YouthActionNet is one such example, a program set up to support young social entrepreneurs with innovative ideas for social and sustainable projects across the globe. Backed by Nokia, already a number of interesting stories have emerged, including support for one young person looking to combat pharmaceutical fraud in Africa via a phone-based drug authentication system.
