Colt Technology Services has become a partner of Meet and Code 2025 to help support the next generation of coders.

Through this partnership, Colt is bringing digital education to life in Poland, Romania, Spain, and Italy. This partnership means not only more funding, but also greater outreach and lasting social impact.

"NGOs get a stable environment to implement activities, and participants get a real chance to get a better start through the digital knowledge and skills they gain. This support translates into greater program reach and more effective outreach to places where technological assistance is really needed," said Meet and Code.

"Together, we're reaching more communities, giving NGOs the tools they need, and opening doors for thousands of young people. Tech creates change - and we're here to make it happen," added Colt.

Introducing young people to technology and coding

The Meet and Code initiative is organized by TechSoup Europe together with the respective country partners from the TechSoup Europe network. Colt is a supporting donor partner, contributing additional resources and employee engagement to help bring coding opportunities to more young people across Europe.

The goal of Meet and Code is to introduce children and young people to technology and coding. The events are designed to show young people how much fun coding can be, and how it can help bring innovation to life. Participants learn how technology works and how IT affects our daily lives. By exploring a broad range of tech, digital topics, and creative coding, they will be encouraged to develop the skills they need for tomorrow's competitive digital economy.

Meet and Code supports local nonprofits across Europe to provide access to coding and digital skills for the next generation of young Europeans. Meet and Code helps non-profits organize grassroots coding events supporting communities of all sizes to make Europe more digital, starting at a local level. 

Meet and Code is where young Europeans take their first steps as digital creators. They learn not only coding but also problem-solving and collaboration to help build their future in a modern society.
