Opening New Worlds for Everyone

Microsoft began with a dream of a PC on every desk and in every home. Thirty years ago this seemed impossible. Today, for the more than one billion people we’ve reached, life has changed profoundly. But for more than five billion people, the opportunity to learn, connect, create, and succeed remains elusive.”All human beings deserve a chance to achieve their full potential,” said Bill Gates, chairman of Microsoft.

On April 19th, 2007 Microsoft unveiled its new commitment to help close the digital divide. Through the expansion of Microsoft Unlimited Potential, we are expanding our efforts with new business models, technology solutions, and advanced research, all focused on solving critical pieces of the economic development puzzle in developing and developed countries.

The expansion of Unlimited Potential will focus on three areas; education, innovation, and jobs and economic opportunity, with particular emphasis on young people, as they represent the future of all our communities.
