The GSMA opened applications for the Innovation Fund for Mobile Internet Adoption and Digital Inclusion.

The Innovation Fund aims to increase mobile internet adoption and usage among those who have mobile internet coverage but are not using it in countries in Africa and Asia.

"Now is the time to find innovative ways to solve this usage gap for the digitally excluded - regardless of who they are or where they are. The Innovation Fund for Mobile Internet Adoption and Digital Inclusion will drive partnerships to develop new and innovative ways of increasing use of the mobile internet so that more citizens can fully participate in society and the economy."

As mobile networks have become the primary way of accessing the internet globally, the ability to access and use mobile services is critical to driving economic growth and creating opportunities for citizens and businesses to thrive.

Digital skills: Innovations which focus on improving basic digital skills and confidence to access and use mobile internet.
