We are committed to helping build a positive digital future.

Today, the global population is increasingly embracing digital solutions. They use digital apps access to services; buy food and basic goods through digital payment solutions; and benefit from government digital systems that efficiently run hospitals, water and power networks, and public transport.

At the same time, there remains a significant proportion of people – often those living in some of the poorest countries – who do not have access to the digital tools that for others are just a basic part of life.

This phenomenon is known as the digital divide.

To successfully bridge this gap, we must ensure that digital technology not only connects people to the digital world, but does so in a way that is inclusive, equitable, and trustworthy. People everywhere can benefit from the power of technology, but it must be thoughtfully designed – and implemented – to prioritize their needs, aspirations, and wellbeing.
