Improving lives

Technology for good

Connectivity improves lives every day – from using our smartphone to navigate across town, to providing financial services to those without traditional banking. But in the future, it will mean so much more – from democratized access to healthcare and wearables that avoid illness; to connectivity for all schools and experiential learning in virtual worlds; and even the augmentation of human abilities. Ericsson, working with others, will make this happen!

"At the current trajectory, it is estimated that by 2029, 4G will cover 95% and 5G will cover 85% of the world’s population as stated in the Ericsson Mobility Report 2023. This expansive reach presents an unparalleled opportunity to tackle the global challenges of sustainable development where we can harnesses our expertise in emerging technologies, innovative solutions, and impactful advocacy to improve lives."
