Internet for Development Global Community (Internet4Dev Champions)

The Internet for Development Global Community advocates for the use of the Internet and STEM for massive developmental and educational impact. It brings together industry leaders & bold innovators, shares information for growth, and holds thought leadership discussions and networking events. The Internet has been remarkably successful in developing greater opportunities for communication access - and economic growth and social development - for the first billion users. The majority of the next several billion users will be mainly from developing countries and will connect to the Internet principally via wireless networks. But there are substantial discrepancies in access to ICTs between developed and developing countries and also within countries, depending on factors such as gender, rural coverage, skills and educational levels.
