There are many ways we’re showing our commitment to helping catalyze a better world. One is the support we’re offering founders who are building new sustainability solutions by committing at least $5 billion in financing by 2027.

Another example: our Access to Innovation initiative is expanding opportunities for underrepresented groups to lead in the innovation economy.
