Neuvo
GlobalUnder the global UN Women – Nokia partnership that focuses on closing the gendered digital divide to strengthen WEE and EVAW, UN Women is working with a Finnish start-up Neuvo Inc to develop a technological solution that can maintain diverse types of functionalities (eg. Educational module, Online Chat, Service search). For the initial pilot version, the partners built and implemented an educational module addressing financial literacy for women. This pilot was tested by 26 women during a training on digital literacy skills led by Nokia and UN Women in October 2024. In the next stage (Q2 2025), the partners will include online chat functionality to respond to specific questions by users and serve as a more intuitive way of searching for information without the use of generative AI or the risk of leaking sensitive data.
