La participación y colaboración de estos eventos marca una gran oportunidad para los países de compartir ideas y experiencias. Esto nos permite ver más allá de nuestros territorios y entender que aún cuando tenemos situaciones diferentes, muchos de los objetivos son similares. En esta ocasión el objetivo es la conectividad significativa de las escuelas, un punto crítico para el avance de la educación digital y remota para poder atender de manera efectiva las áreas más remotas de nuestros países. Gracias a Giga UNICEF y International Telecommunication Union por la invitación a participar de esta gran iniciativa.

Giga was proud to participate in the #BuildingBridges24 event in Geneva last week on "Blockchain: The Key to Green Banking" session hosted by STORM Partners. The discussion highlighted blockchain's transformative potential in creating a more transparent, inclusive, and sustainable financial ecosystem. 🌍 During the session, Giga co-lead, christopher fabian underscored transparency as a cornerstone of sustainable finance. Giga is using blockchain technology to connect schools in underserved regions and transform connectivity metrics into tradable credits. This innovative approach is unlocking new financing opportunities for local service providers while bridging the global digital divide. 📹 Watch the recording: https://lnkd.in/gQ7Rs4Pm 🔗 Read the blog: https://lnkd.in/dKAKGU39 #Blockchain #TechforGood #ConnectivityCredits #ConnectEverySchool
