And the TIME 2023 Team of the Year winner is… HP’s Social Impact team! 🎉

We're excited to announce HP’s Social Impact team as the first-ever TIME Team of the Year.

This incredible team at HP is on a mission to accelerate digital equity for 150 million people by 2030. Technology can be a great equalizer, but access isn’t always shared equally. The HP Social Impact team focuses on reaching those who have traditionally been excluded from the health, educational, and economic opportunities that technology can bring, with a big focus on women and girls, people with disabilities, educators, and marginalized communities.

Since their efforts kicked off in 2021, this team has positively impacted 21.3 million people around the world by partnering with local and international organizations, providing hardware, and sharing digital literacy resources and other learning materials on the ground.

The team will be honored at the TIME Person of the Year Gala in New York City next week.
