Each partnership will pilot a new approach using satellite data and communications technology, with results shared back to the community.
  • Ready for Impact — Ready for Impact supports organizations that are ready to grow solutions already piloted in Colombia or the region. Participants receive grants, mentorship, and storytelling support to scale promising projects, culminating in a pitch showcase in Bogotá in June 2026.
