It's time to redefine digital access.
While conventional approaches divide the have and have-nots of internet access, “offline internet” suggests a gray area—a continuum of connectivity, where innovative hardware and software solutions, localized content, digital skills, and supportive policies enable meaningful access to a wide array of digital content without the need for permanent internet connectivity.
Becoming a partner of the Offline Internet Consortium means joining a collaborative ecosystem committed to closing digital gaps worldwide. Partnership extends beyond simple affiliation—it offers access to an ever-growing network of organizations aligned by shared purpose, with opportunities to exchange knowledge, pool resources, and spark joint initiatives. Through OLI-hosted partner meetings, organizations engage in meaningful dialogue, strengthen connections, and co-design strategies that expand the impact of offline solutions. We particularly welcome groups working in remote or underserved areas, where innovative approaches to offline access can drive the most transformative change.
“Connectivity encompasses more than what long-term and expensive broadband deployments can deliver.”
