The event discussed the challenges for most of the population in the country to have access to quality internet and digital skills.
May we can together address these challenges and look at the significant connectivity and the challenge that this represents for Brazil. We are committed to expanding access, expanding digital inclusion, so that all recipients of public policies, which are Brazilian citizens, are guaranteed full access to citizenship.
