Technology for Good

We believe that technology, when thoughtfully and strategically applied, can bring positive, lasting change to people’s lives and communities and benefit the planet. That is why we invest in and partner with global problem solvers who are developing technology solutions.

What’s Old Is New: Why Cisco Wants Its Products Back
Cisco’s products power networks and shape the way we live, work, play, and learn. However, they also shape the world in many other ways. We extract natural resources to make and ship our hardware, and our customers rely on this same pool of resources to make their own products and run their own businesses. We can’t keep taking, without giving. It doesn’t last. But as a business, as a society, as a species, that is exactly what we’ve been doing. And it’s not sustainable.

Data Science to Improve Foresight and Decision Making in the Humanitarian Sector
The organization I work for—Mercy Corps—strives to alleviate suffering, poverty, and oppression through economic development and emergency relief programs around the world. This work has always been challenging. We’ve seen firsthand the fragmentation of armed actors in the Syrian War or increasing climate variability in the Horn of Africa, a region already made vulnerable by poverty and violent extremism. Add to this complexity, an emerging digital space where media platforms are used to recruit terrorists, manipulate voters, or incite violence against minorities.
