From concept to reality, we put our newest deployable assets on display at the Verizon Business Innovations Sessions in D.C. It was a chance to showcase all the ways we support and empower first responders to face challenges head-on.

Back in 2021, Verizon and the World Economic Forum co-founded The EDISON Alliance, which brings together private and public sector leaders in an effort to bridge the digital divide. Hans Vestberg shared this exciting news earlier today, “Through more than 320 projects across 130 countries, we accomplished our 1 Billion Lives challenge goal a year faster than we thought possible — a testament to our strength and impact when we work together.” ONE.? BILLION.? PEOPLE! Wow! ?? Despite the enormous accomplishment, the work is not yet done. One third of the world's population remains offline. As a #VTeam we know how important it is for everyone, everywhere to have digital access. Watch “Beyond 1 Billion: Next Steps for Digital Inclusion” — a panel discussion, including Hans, discussing the lessons learned from reaching 1 Billions Lives and how to build on the current work and success: https://lnkd.in/ddp-gUad

We closed out the Verizon Tech Access Lounge at #ALC53 last week with an engaging discussion about preparing students for jobs of the future. Led by Michele Cober, Esq., we got a firsthand look at how Verizon Innovative Learning (VIL) is bringing hope, as one panelist put it, to under resourced communities. Here are some of the key takeaways about the impact of VIL: ??This is not simply a technology donation. It's a long term investment that's opening up new ways of teaching and learning. ??For a lot of kids, this is their first time touching technology, and they're getting a chance to be hands on with AR, VR, 3D printing, and more. ??Educators are seeing kids blossom, and the benefits are not just for the kids. There are intergenerational benefits as kids educate their families about technology. Thank you to our panel - not only for your insights, but also for all you're doing to prepare students for jobs of the future: ?Enzo Blanks, Verizon Innovative Learning Lab Mentor, Baltimore Design School ?Krystal Brown, Verizon Innovative Learning Schools Coach, BALTIMORE DESIGN SCHOOL INC ?Dr. Darrin Brozene, Principal, Baltimore Design School ?LaDawn Partlow, M.Eng., Program Director - Verizon Innovative Learning STEM Achievers, Morgan State University ?D'Andre Weaver, Ph.D, Chief Digital Equity Officer, Digital Promise And thank you to Alex Servello for framing our final discussion with a VIL overview.
