Connectivity - the key to Digital InclusionBroadband internet services in emerging markets are currently offered at prices well exceeding the average monthly GNI per capita, rendering them unaffordable to the vast majority of these populations. Foris Telecom is changing this reality by connecting millions of people in developing countries to the global knowledge economy by providing them with broadband internet access at dramatically reduced prices and creating an enormous new business opportunity in the process.

Our mission as a global leader providing wireless mobile broadband services to emerging markets is to bring the benefits of affordable, reliable, and easily accessible high-speed internet to millions of untapped potential users worldwide. We partner with governments, NGOs, and the private sector in developing countries to foster their transition to information societies. Foris Telecom is playing a pivotal role in bridging digital divides amongst the world's populations.

Beyond connectivity - making the dream a reality

The holistic, partnership-based Foris Telecom business strategy complements its core offering of affordable connectivity by providing users with a one-stop solution for increased access (affordable PCs and PDAs for users), information and communication technology skills and capacity building, and content (localized applications and services). By broadening its addressable market—beyond connectivity--Foris Telecom enhances its value proposition while increasing its competitive edge.

Foris Telecom, a member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Development Sector, launched its wireless communication services under the  brand for the first time in Mozambique during June 2009.
