50x15 Partner Summits bring together multinational corporations, non-profit organizations, local digital inclusion partners and government leaders to actively plan Internet connectivity projects designed to improve healthcare, education and job-skills training throughout the world.
In addition to discussing successful digital inclusion strategies and business models, participants engage in open dialogue on the challenges of bringing computing and communications technologies to people living in high-growth markets worldwide. Partners share key learning and help lead breakout sessions to discuss best practices for sustaining and replicating ICT-based business models in the developing world.
Partners also participate in site visits to local 50x15 Learning Labs that serve as real world, tangible examples of 50x15 partners working together to improve the lives of people traditionally underserved by computing technology. This is a great opportunity to interact with the beneficiaries of new-found Internet access.
All in all, the summits are great opportunities to exchange knowledge and learn from a variety of thought leaders from multiple backgrounds and perspectives.
