Inveneo
More than 2 billion people in the developing world live in rural and remote communities that lack basic access to information and communications technologies, such as computers and Internet access. Without these tools, residents can’t access vital information and resources that could improve their quality of life and open doors to better healthcare, education, jobs, and economic opportunities.

Inveneo trains and certifies local entrepreneurs in rural areas like Nepal to deploy technology solutions that can connect isolated residents to the Internet--and the opportunities it affords.
Inveneo works directly with nonprofits, NGOs, and government agencies to expand their ability to reach more people with technology and serve them better. For example, after converting to an Inveneo ICT system, a nonprofit operating in a Nigerian slum cut energy costs by 35 percent and expanded enrollment in a technology skills class by more than 50 percent.
The Inveneo Certified ICT Partner (ICIP) program cultivates economic growth in developing communities. More than 100 ICT entrepreneurs in 23 countries are trained to design, deliver, and support Inveneo’s rural ICT projects, making them more sustainable for the long-term.

Cisco has also donated high-definition video cameras and its WebEx collaborative solution to help Inveneo and its partners around the world communicate more efficiently and effectively.
