New funding will bring more people online, teach them new skills and create pathways for technical careers

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the world’s digital infrastructure company®, today announced a new $50 million commitment to the Equinix Foundation, doubling the company’s total investment in the Foundation just four years since its launch in 2022.

The funding aims to accelerate the Foundation’s proven model for advancing digital opportunity through strategic grantmaking, workforce development and community partnerships. Since launch, the Equinix Foundation has awarded grants to 100 nonprofit partners across 48 metros globally, helping connect more than 3.5 million people to the internet in 2025 alone.

“For nearly 30 years, Equinix has grown by earning the trust of the communities where we operate. The Equinix Foundation is a powerful expression of our values in action, giving more people the skills and opportunities they need for the jobs of the future,” said Adaire Fox-Martin, CEO and President, Equinix, and Foundation Board Member. “By doubling our investment in programs around the world, we aim to open doors for more people and ensure our communities benefit from the future we are helping to build.”

Additionally, the Equinix Foundation named Aslıhan Güreşcier, VP, Growth and Emerging Markets, EMEA, as its new President. Güreşcier will lead the next phase of the Foundation’s growth, working toward its vision of a more accessible, sustainable and interconnected digital future for everyone, everywhere.

The Foundation will continue to take an ecosystem approach, bringing together Equinix employees, nonprofits, customers and alliance partners as it deepens its work across three key impact areas:

Connectivity and digital infrastructure: Expanding quality, reliable internet access for digitally underserved communities.Digital literacy and skill building: Fostering digital literacy and skills training for individuals of all ages.Workforce readiness and resilience: Creating technical career pathways related to the data center industry for adults seeking greater economic opportunity.

The Foundation works alongside customers and alliance partners—including Cisco and HPE—to co-fund initiatives that create opportunities for communities and businesses alike. It also supports sustainability-minded infrastructure and climate solutions advancing next-generation data center technologies.

“Throughout my career, I’ve seen the ways digital technology and infrastructure can lift up communities and improve people’s lives,” Güreşcier said. “I’m honored to lead the Equinix Foundation as we scale this vitally important work and help communities capitalize on the immense opportunities ahead.”

Four Years of Measurable Impact
The Foundation’s first four years of operation demonstrate the model works. In 2025 alone, the Foundation’s portfolio of nonprofits connected over 3.5 million people to the internet, reached over 1.6 million people with digital literacy and skills training, and trained over 900 people in digital infrastructure roles.

The Foundation is pursuing a deliberate strategy to build strong talent pipelines into an industry growing faster than the workforce prepared to fill it. Equinix’s Pathways to Tech program introduces students ages 14–18 to careers in data center operations through school visits, facility tours and education days led by 120 certified employee volunteer ambassadors. Since launch, the program has reached more than 1,300 students across 24 locations worldwide.

To further scale the model, the Foundation has entered into a new partnership with the International Youth Foundation (IYF), a global leader in youth workforce development with 35 years of experience connecting young people to economic opportunities in more than 100 countries. IYF will work alongside the Equinix Foundation to define a scalable, replicable model for expanding Pathways to Tech to new markets globally.

“Every young person deserves the chance to see a future for themselves in the industries shaping our world, and data infrastructure is one of the fastest-growing out there,” said Christina Sass, President & CEO, International Youth Foundation. “Pathways to Tech is already opening that door for hundreds of students. We’re excited to bring our experience in youth workforce development to help Equinix build a model that can open it for thousands more, in communities around the world.”

Global Partners, Local Impact
The Foundation partners with dozens of organizations to bridge the digital divide, with Equinix employees helping to identify and support community-driven nonprofits and social enterprises in their markets. Current partners include:

Per Scholas, a national workforce accelerator leading in no-cost technical training, now expanding a critical facilities training program across five U.S. markets to prepare individuals for high-demand careers in data center operations.unconnected.org, bringing sustainable, market-driven connectivity to more than 40 million people across 18 countries around the world.UNICEF Digital Inclusion, with Giga as its flagship program, a joint initiative with the International Telecommunication Union, working to connect every school in the world to the internet by 2030.YUVA Unstoppable, which has helped improve student learning outcomes by transforming thousands of government schools across India with improved future ready learning spaces, technology access and education.Enterprise Development Centre (EDC) at Pan-Atlantic University, whose SparkLab incubator program equips early-stage entrepreneurs and technopreneurs in Nigeria with the skills, mentorship and market access to scale their ideas.

Exclusive program uses proprietary navigation data, reflecting routing choices made before the truck moves, to deliver underwriting precision and safer outcomes for small fleets.

SAN FRANCISCO and PHOENIX, Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Corgi Insurance and Trucker Path Insurance today launched the first trucking insurance program underwritten on route-planning data, exclusively available to Trucker Path users. The program draws on the Trucker Path app, used by more than 1.2 million professional drivers to plan their trips.

Corgi built the underwriting around Trucker Path’s proprietary navigation data.Participation is opt-in and driver-controlled, coverage includes auto liability, motor truck cargo, physical damage, general liability and Trucker Path Insurance serves as agent of record.

Severe weather and cargo theft corridors are among the most consistent loss drivers in trucking, and traditional underwriting reads both from the loss run after a claim. Trucker Path steers drivers around them in advance through truck-specific routing, hazard warnings, sharp-turn alerts, road closures, and lane restrictions. Those routing choices are made in the yard, before the truck moves, and they determine the exposure a fleet takes on. The underwriting draws on that planning data, and fleets that consistently route around known exposure are recognized for it.

“Data and technology are where this industry is going, but only if the data can be used to influence safer outcomes on the road,” said Adam Smith, vice president of product and technology at Trucker Path Insurance. “Millions of drivers plan their day in Trucker Path. No carrier has ever been able to influence safe driving habits on that scale.”

Data-driven underwriting in trucking has concentrated among larger fleets, where telematics hardware is standard equipment. Hardware and subscription costs sit outside a six-truck budget, so operations running fewer than 10 trucks are underwritten on filings, loss history, and driver records alone. Trucker Path Insurance reaches those fleets through the app they already run, supplying the underwriting data from a platform its own parent company operates.

“This is a class of underwriting information that has not existed in this segment,” said Drew Bregman, head of strategy at Corgi Trucking. “It let us build a program around the data instead of adding an endorsement to a standard product.”

ABOUT CORGI 

Corgi is a full-stack insurance platform focused on rebuilding insurance and financial infrastructure. The company provides full-stack underwriting, claims handling, and embedded insurance solutions designed to make commercial coverage faster, more flexible, and operationally efficient. For more information, visit www.corgi.insure.  

ABOUT TRUCKER PATH 

Phoenix-based Trucker Path is the provider of a wide range of truck driver-centric mobility products. The Trucker Path app is currently used regularly by over 1.2 million professional truck drivers. Offering best-in-class navigation with truck-specific routing, the Trucker Path app also provides access to vital up-to-date information about truck stops, real-time free and reservable parking availability, fuel prices and discounts, and weigh station statuses while also offering TruckLoads, the digital freight exchange that connects drivers, carriers and brokers. Added in 2025, Trucker Path Insurance is a digitally-enabled retail insurance agency designed to connect insurance carriers with the drivers and fleets who rely on Trucker Path daily. For more information, visit www.truckerpath.com.
