This collaboration will provide Giga with the technological, financial, and political capital to complete the satellite mapping of every school in the world. It will also provide a space for Giga, technology companies, regulators and policymakers to collaborate on digital policies in support of universal school connectivity. The Technology Centre in Barcelona will lead on experimenting and creating new connectivity solutions through blockchain, satellite imagery analysis, and AI technologies – all entirely open-source.

It will drive efforts to equip learners with information, opportunity, and choice through research and product development to increase digital connectivity in schools. The partnership will advance the work of Giga - the UNICEF and ITU initiative to connect every school to the internet.
