A cloud tech and society lunch summit

A lunch summit hosted by Box.org, alongside partners like Salesforce.org and Twilio.org, gathered leaders from the Broadband Commission for Digital Development at Box HQ to discuss the transformative impact of cloud platforms and broadband technologies on global productivity and social good. These discussions emphasized the importance of increasing global internet connectivity efficiently and equitably, particularly in emerging nations, to drive economic growth and improve quality of life. The summit aligned closely with the Broadband Commission's 2025 targets, which aim to enhance global broadband infrastructure and access in support of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. A key outcome of the meeting was the decision to focus on reducing the unconnectedness of Micro, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) by 50% by 2025, with a specific emphasis on empowering female and young entrepreneurs in emerging markets like Africa. Participants agreed that incorporating social impact into Silicon Valley's business models and fostering collaborations between tech companies and development initiatives would be crucial for achieving these goals. The meeting concluded with a shared sense of excitement and commitment to harnessing technology for positive global change.
