Acronis celebrates the fifth anniversary of the Acronis Cyber ​​Foundation program. These are philanthropic efforts designed to engage partners in community development projects and provide volunteer opportunities for team members around the world.

Launched in 2018, the Acronic Cyber ​​​​​​Foundation program has focused on education by funding the construction of schools and computer training for communities around the world. The Acronis Cyber ​​Foundation program, together with partners, has built 18 schools, and five more schools are currently under construction. In total, new schools will be built in 22 countries. More than 5,500 students have already benefited from this initiative and now have access to quality education. To further support education, 12 schools have been equipped with computer labs to ensure students have access to technology and are able to reap the benefits of learning in a digital environment.
