At the heart of the partners\u2019 motivation is the realization of a shared mission and a commitment to exponential change.\u201d<\/p>\n Among the report\u2019s highlights are the following achievements:<\/p>\n Read the 2024 Annual Report and Outlook – https:\/\/www.n50project.org\/report<\/a><\/p>\n – A 64% increase in partners, including organizations from the technology sector, NGOs, academia, content developers, and others.<\/p>\n – Project implementations valued at more than $125 million and reaching most major regions of the world.”<\/p>\n – Launch of the Indigenous Resilience Network<\/a> (IRN), a platform for digital workforce development among Tribal communities.<\/p>\n Travis Heneveld, Director of IRN, added that “in the U.S. there is a historic opportunity to leverage federal and state funding that is now available to close the digital divide and help Tribal communities to access the tools, partners, and training they need.” Heneveld continued, “As we launch our new project portal, showcasing a burgeoning pipeline of initiatives, we recognize the true power of N50 when the right elements converge. Each of our partners is an integral part of the expanding, dynamic, and diverse N50 family.
