We are thrilled to announce that DigitalC has been named a finalist of the 2025 EdTech Trendsetter Award! This recognition celebrates our groundbreaking work in bridging the digital divide and transforming education through innovative technology and skills training.

As a community-based internet service provider, we believe that access to high-speed home internet and digital tools should not be a privilege, but a right. This award highlights our efforts to ensure that Cleveland’s students and families have the connectivity and skills they need to succeed in today’s digital world.

A Game-Changer for Cleveland’s Students
DigitalC’s free high-speed home internet initiative has been a transformative force for Cleveland families. Through our partnership with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, we provide ultra-fast internet access (200/100 Mbps) to families of scholars, ensuring that students can participate in online learning, complete assignments, and thrive academically.

By addressing the digital divide head-on, we have helped level the playing field, making it possible for students in underserved communities to have the same access to educational resources as their peers.

But we did not stop at internet access. We have gone further to ensure that students are not just connected—they are prepared for the future, teaching skills from drones to codes.

We are proud to be at the forefront of this movement, proving that technology can bridge gaps, empower communities, and drive change. As we continue to expand our efforts and set new benchmarks for digital inclusion, we hope our work serves as a blueprint for other cities to follow.
