The City of San José established a dedicated Digital Inclusion Partnership to advance Digital Equity and close the Digital Divide in San José and the California Emerging Technology Fund was honored to be recruited by the San José City Manager’s Office and engaged by the City Council in 2019 to assist in the development, launch, and management of the San José Digital Inclusion Partnership. After 3 rounds of Digital Inclusion Grants and an immediate pandemic response in 2020, and in light of changing circumstances in the broadband industry, the time was appropriate to transition the management of the San José Digital Inclusion Partnership back to the City. The California Emerging Technology Fund concluded all partnership activities as of September 30, 2023
