Unlocking new opportunities for people hard-hit by automation and globalization

At the Autodesk Foundation, we have been grappling with the challenges and opportunities that automation presents to the global workforce since 2017. Automation and globalization are two of the biggest forces shaping the future of work and our wider society, with gross inequities between winners and losers. To address these inherent inequalities, we back systems and solutions that help at-risk workers prosper in the era of automation in service of a more equitable future.
