Leveling the playing fieldthrough educational initiatives, scholarships, and youth programs

Future Generations

Lasting change starts with leveling the playing field for the rising generations who will be our future, so we invest in educational initiatives, scholarships, and other programs to support youth and ensure their voices are heard. We are interested in investigating the impact of the digital divide and the role of artificial intelligence in shaping the future of education.
