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.

Cisco VIDEO | Meet the Global Problem Solver: Good World Solutions
Good World Solutions’s mobile technology allows companies — and consumers — to know what life is like for the thousands of factory workers behind the scenes.

Sustainable Development Goals

Brands Tackle Global Challenges in the Magnitude of Billions
A strategic approach to solving the most critical problems around the world starts with a look at sobering numbers. The World Economic Forum’s 2018 Global Risks Report highlights that 70% of young people live on less than US$3.10 per day, and 90% of the world’s population breathes polluted air. The World Economic Forum has listed economic inequality as one of the most important global trends of our time.

Cisco's Commitment to End Homelessness in Santa Clara County
Today, Cisco is proud to announce a five-year, $50 million commitment to Destination: Home, a San Jose-based public-private partnership which has demonstrated that providing permanent housing to chronically homeless people gives them the stability they need to change the trajectory of their lives. What’s more, this commitment can help Santa Clara County reduce unnecessary system costs and make better use of public funds.

Cyberheroes: An Opportunity We Can’t Afford to Ignore
Digital innovation is one of the most exciting opportunities of our time. It seems like the futuristic depictions that once felt fictitious are quickly becoming reality. We can video call on our watches, cars can drive themselves, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) help us find victims amidst fire and rubble, and a virtual global office brings colleagues across the world together in a click.

Events, Media & Communications

An Inspiring Conversation with Global Problem Solvers
I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Mary Elizabeth McCulloch and Elizabeth Nyeko, two socially minded young women who exemplify the mindset of a Global Problem Solver. They joined me on stage in San Jose at the Women of Impact conference, where we spoke to more than 16,000 global attendees on a day dedicated to the advancement of professional women.

Education

Overcoming the Bravery Deficit
Originally, Girls Who Code was an experiment with a single mission: to close the gender gap in technology. In its first year, we taught a group of 20 girls to code in one classroom in New York City. Fast forward to today, and Girls Who Code is a national movement that will reach 50,000 girls in all 50 U.S. states by early 2018.

Education

In STEM, All Girls Can Be Tech Superheroes
There is an incorrect assumption that digital natives are digitally literate. Although they have grown up with technology, they do not necessarily have the skills to support our digitally-fueled economies. Beyond using apps, they struggle to create financial formulas in Excel or navigate a computer’s file management system — essential skills in today’s workplaces.

VIDEO | Cisco Teams Come Together in Times of Adversity
As natural disasters disrupted lives around the world in 2017, Cisco teams came together to support each other, our customers, and their communities.
