Digital Nations aimed to address major social challenges (improving education, enhancing health care, supporting community development) through the innovative design and use of new technologies. The consortium's ultimate goal was to empower people in all walks of life to invent new opportunities for themselves and their societies. The consortium focused especially on populations with the greatest needs — children and seniors, underserved communities, and developing nations.
