Hear from Ericsson's Heather Johnson, VP Head of Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility and Charlotte Petri Gornitzka, UNICEF Deputy Executive Director for Partnerships, discuss how the partnership will help connect every school to the internet and close the digital divide.

Our global partnership is part of the GIGA initiative launched last year, which aims to connect every school to the internet. The goal is to see every young person having access to information and opportunity, positively shaping this generation of school children and many more to come.

Ericsson's role will be to understand and quantify the full scale of the problem, by mapping each school which needs connectivity. Providing a foundation, from where this project can grow and flourish. We will provide funding and valuable experience, technology and expertise to understand the connectivity gap.
