Technology is still available only to a select few across socioeconomic lines. According to Pew Research, only 1% of adults in households with earnings of $100,000+ lack access to computers or the internet at home, compared to 13% of adults in households with earnings under $30,000. It restricts educational opportunities, job opportunities and basic services for millions of people.
Bridging this gap is what TechFlow is trying to do with high quality refurbished electronics that provide affordable technology without sacrificing performance. Both cost barriers and quality concerns that hinder the widespread adoption of technology are addressed by our approach.
The cost is the main barrier to accessing technology. For many households in developing regions or low income communities, new devices are a substantial investment.
Offering devices at 30-70% lower cost than new equivalents.
Warranties that ensure quality assurance on refurbished products.
Refurbished devices must perform to the needs of modern software and applications.
Provides products for all budgets.
Creating payment plans for those unable to make single large purchases.
These approaches make technology affordable to families, students, entrepreneurs and organizations that otherwise couldn’t afford to be in the digital world.
Access to technology is especially limited to educational opportunities. In today's educational systems, students without computers or internet access are at a great disadvantage.
School partnership programs: Discounted devices for educational institutions.
Student discount initiatives: Special pricing for verified students.
Educational bundles: Pre Installing education focused software into packages.
Digital literacy support: Providing basic training materials for new users with devices.
Donation programs: We work with nonprofits to give devices to students who need them.
This is important for ensuring that educational outcomes are not determined by technology limitations and more students have equal opportunities to learn and develop digital skills.
Technology costs can be a real barrier to entry for small businesses and emerging entrepreneurs. Refurbished devices provide a practical way for these businesses to compete.
Business-grade refurbished equipment.
Volume discounts for growing businesses
Assistance to businesses without IT resources.
Helping businesses stick with current technology as they expand.
Devices are configured to meet the needs of a particular business application.
TechFlow helps make economic opportunities and foster innovation in communities that might otherwise be left behind by making quality technology affordable for small businesses.
With a global footprint, TechFlow is able to address technology access challenges in various contexts. We have operations in America, Indonesia, the Philippines, Dubai, and India and know the difference in the needs of different regions.
Localized refurbishment centers: Developing facilities that know regional needs
Language support: Making sure that devices and services are available in local languages.
Regional partnerships: Local organizations are working with us to distribute technology effectively.
Adaptation to the culture: Adapting approaches to the local patterns of technology usage.
Infrastructure considerations: Making devices fit in regions with little power or connectivity.
TechFlow is a global but locally sensitive approach that is particularly effective at bridging digital divides across diverse communities.
TechFlow measures the impact of work by concrete metrics of technology adoption and digital inclusion. Our data indicates that digital divides are being closed.
Percentage of customers purchasing their first computing device.

Serves underserved communities and regions.
Improvements in digital skills among new technology adopters.
As a pioneer in the field, TechFlow is developing transformative strategies to remove barriers to technology access, so that digital tools are accessible to everyone, regardless of socioeconomic background. The organization is creating a future where technology enables everyone to learn, work and innovate, by focusing on affordability, connectivity and education.
TechFlow is scaling up its device refurbishment program recognizing that many are using smartphones as their primary computing devices. The initiative partners with manufacturers and recyclers to deliver high quality, low cost smartphones to underserved communities. Furthermore, these devices are optimized with software that keeps them running for years, minimizing e waste and maximizing value.
A major obstacle to digital inclusion is lack of reliable internet. To create subsidized data plans and bundled packages that bundle devices with low cost connectivity, TechFlow is working with telecom providers. The goal of these partnerships is to bring high speed internet to rural and low income urban areas, so that students, job seekers and entrepreneurs can close the gap.
Having access is not enough, users must know how to use technology. Free training programs are being expanded by TechFlow to include basic digital literacy, online safety and advanced skills such as coding and graphic design. These resources are available through community centers and virtual platforms.
Many can’t afford high upfront costs of owning devices. To meet the needs of its users, TechFlow is offering flexible payment options such as pay as you go and microloan where users can purchase technology in manageable installments. It means that financial constraints don’t stand in the way of access to these important tools.
TechFlow is also looking to provide advanced devices beyond basic access to students and professionals in STEM, design and other tech-dependent fields. Users will be able to pursue specialized careers without prohibitive costs through discounted workstations and laptops through partnerships with tech companies.
TechFlow’s initiatives are tearing down systematic barriers so that technology is a bridge, not a barrier, to opportunity. The organization is combining hardware access, affordable connectivity and skill development to create a world in which everyone can participate in the digital economy, regardless of income. TechFlow is making universal digital inclusion a reality through sustained innovation and collaboration.
