Community Fund

Backbone of Society

Connectivity shapes how societies function and how economies grow.

When connectivity improves, people gain access to education, work, healthcare, financial services, and opportunity at scale. It strengthens safety, enables inclusion, and underpins modern life across cities, regions, and borders.

It is also one of the most powerful and scalable technology frontiers. Demand is accelerating through AI, cloud, IoT, and digital services, while the industry faces rising energy, infrastructure, and resource demands. This creates a significant opportunity for sustainable innovation across networks, data centres, edge infrastructure, and intelligent systems that reduce cost, energy use, and environmental impact. Solutions in this space deliver both meaningful societal outcomes and strong commercial returns through global reach, recurring revenues, and long-term relevance.

This themed fund invests in the founders and technologies redefining how the world connects, backing innovations that expand opportunity, improve sustainability, and capture the growth of one of the most essential markets of our time.
