In January 2009, Cisco, Intel and Microsoft announced they would join forces to sponsor ATC21S as a collaborative research project to accelerate education reform.
Each of the three companies has a long history of supporting education initiatives and believes that, as employers of tomorrow’s talent, they share a common interest in applying their collective resources and experiences to improve learning and education.
Cisco: Building a Learning Society
With demand for learning increasing in all sectors of society, Cisco has engaged with the academic community to understand why and how education systems should respond — transforming both the world of learning and the place of learning in the world.
Intel: Empowering the Next Generation of Innovators
For more than a decade, Intel has been working with countries, communities and schools worldwide to bring resources and solutions for advancing education.
Microsoft: Supporting Your Education Priorities
Microsoft works with local, national and international education communities to create solutions that help address education challenges while improving teaching and learning opportunities. We believe multistakeholder partnerships are required for scalable and sustainable transformation in education.
