Inveneo’s 7th Year at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI)
It’s Inveneo’s 7th year at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) and it is our most important year ever. The mission of CGI is to turn ideas into action. They do this by asking each member to make a commitment and to work with other CGI members and many additional outside groups and organizations to make it happen. The theme for this year’s event, starting September 22 in New York City, is “Designing for Impact: How can we design our world to create more opportunity and more equality?”
For 2012-13, Inveneo is announcing our biggest commitment ever – our new program Broadband for Good – the commitment to accelerate access to broadband Internet to those who need it most in underserved areas across the developing world.
We’re also excited to share that our CEO, Kristin Peterson, has been invited to participate in CGI’s Program Advisory Committee. She sits on this committee with many civil society leaders who come together to frame each year’s program. Broadband for Good directly relates to the CGI 2012 theme, as broadband access is now seen as one of the most the critical tools for unlocking both economic and social development.
If you’d like to join our Broadband for Good Initiative as a supporter or partner, please contact us at broadbandforgood@inveneo.org.
