Are you an ISP with a bold vision to connect your region?

Bridging the global digital divide starts with local knowledge and leadership. At Connect One Billion, we partner with small and independent Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in low- and middle-income countries because they know their communities best. We’re initially focused on sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Latin America.

We help ISPs unlock the funding, technical support, and strategic partnerships needed to deliver secure, affordable, high-speed internet tailored to local realities.We’re looking for dynamic, community-driven providers with innovative solutions to connect their communities.
