civic tech

Civic tech on WindowsForum.com covers technology-driven public infrastructure projects, with a focus on how Microsoft Azure powers large-scale social initiatives. A featured example is FoodFair in Belgium, which uses Azure to build a nationwide food redistribution network, connecting surplus food from hundreds of cities to nearly 550 charities. This case highlights civic tech as a public infrastructure challenge rather than a narrow software deployment, emphasizing data coordination to reduce waste and fight hunger. The tag explores how cloud platforms enable measurable social impact through civic systems.
