Sun Global Communities

The Global Communities team works directly with influencers worldwide who shape how billions of people use and will be impacted by technology

Serving as a trusted advisor to and bridge between governments, NGOs, academia and the next generation of innovators, Global Communities drives the adoption of open government policies and initiatives, open education curriculum and learning innovations for 21st Century Skills and open-source economic development in the emerging world.

The nimble group has had significant impact in changing the ways that governments use technologies and students learn in strategically important countries including China, India, Malaysia, South Africa, Indonesia, Brazil, and Argentina.

“These important initiatives will further the momentum of open source technologies to help spur indigenous innovation and dramatically change how businesses, schools, governments and individuals operate on all corners of the globe.”

— Lin Lee, vice president of Sun Global Communities

Today, more than 1.4 billion people or one-fifth of the world's population are students. This new generation is not only shaping their own futures, but they are shaping those of their countries, as well. Sun is helping shape how these young people are exposed to open principles and trained on innovative technologies. Closely tied to this, Sun also helps government and industry encourage and sustain the virtuous cycle of indigenous innovation being developed by global youth through open technologies.

Here are just a few examples of the traction Sun is gaining in its efforts to bring open technologies, governments and the next generation of innovators together.
