Economic Prosperity

Solving for financial and economic opportunities for all

While the world is more connected than ever, many people are still locked out of opportunities. Our economic prosperity work focuses on closing opportunity gaps so everyone can benefit from the global economy—leveraging technology to increase access to jobs, capital, and key infrastructure.

We’re focused on advancing and scaling technology that connects people to financial services, generates wealth and stability, and enables safe and fair employment opportunities.
