Governments
We partner with national and local governments with a vision to leverage digital infrastructures to expand their economies and improve the lives of citizens.
Michigan
In the United States, Networking Academy is a critical component of the state of Michigan’s efforts to accelerate digital innovation and strengthen its workforce. Education of its citizens is the cornerstone of Michigan’s State Digital Acceleration program. They plan to almost triple enrollment into Networking Academy by 2020.
