Case study: Preparing the Workforce of Tomorrow

In a unique partnership with The Smallpeice Trust and Villers Park Educational Trust, Arm developed, launched and fully funded the 2020 STEM Scholars Program in the U.K in 2014.

2. Healthcare: Access a Healthier Lifestyle

Case study: Bringing the World Closer

Amplio’s technology helps partners such as UNICEF amplify their impact. Their solution is the Talking Book. Users select and play messages on-demand and access knowledge to improve their lives. Because Amplio’s technology collects usage data and user feedback, partners can monitor their programs, identify barriers to change, and update content for greater impact. Arm not only provides the device processor but also supported Amplio in delivering the service to thousands, empowering them to grow more food and keep their children healthy. Currently reaching 500,000 people, Arm and Amplio are developing a pipeline to impact 10 million people by 2024.

The platform is used by around 2,3000 global members, who crowdsource ideas and solutions.
