When it comes to connecting communities, we need everyone on board. There are more than 20 million people in North America who lack access to fast, affordable and reliable Internet, many of whom live in regions that include Indigenous populations.
Indigenous Connectivity Summit sponsors have a unique opportunity to support and connect with Indigenous leaders, community network operators, Internet service providers, researchers and policy makers working to close the digital divide.
Here’s what past sponsors have had to say:
Indigenous populations often tend to be the most isolated from the reach of the Internet … Google’s primary objective is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. We are happy to have been able to facilitate serious discussions about the way forward in Inuvik.
— Vint Cerf, Google
Great forum to connect with key individuals and listen to the challenges our nation’s Indigenous communities face, understand their priorities and consult with them on solutions.
— Michele Beck, Telesat
