Overview
The global network of independent builders is a collaborative initiative designed to connect developers, designers, researchers, and makers across borders. This program emphasizes open collaboration, practical knowledge sharing, and sustainable, community-driven growth. Through mentorship, shared tooling, and inclusive events, the network helps builders access resources that might otherwise be out of reach. Supporting this effort means empowering people to work across cultures and disciplines to create better, more accessible technologies and platforms.
