Today, Corus International announced a major expansion of our technology and data capabilities. Cadasta Foundation is joining Corus, bringing deep expertise in geospatial technology, land administration and place-based data.

Together, we are strengthening how we design and deliver integrated, data-driven solutions that help communities move from vulnerability to long-term resilience and prosperity.

Cadasta’s capabilities complement Corus’ global platform across agriculture, livelihoods, health, education, humanitarian response and economic opportunity — enhancing how we apply data and technology to improve decision-making, program performance and impact at scale.

We were honored to meet with Isabel Noboa Pontón—one of the most influential businesswomen in the region. Her leadership across Nobis Holding de Inversiones and Unidos por la Educación Ecuador is helping shape a stronger, more inclusive future for Ecuador.

In conversation with Corus COO Mahmoud Bah and our Latin America and Caribbean Managing Director Galo Quizanga, we discussed how stronger partnerships can help close education gaps, support rural communities, and link economic growth to real local impact.

From expanding access to quality education to strengthening connections between agriculture, trade, and livelihoods, it’s clear that collaboration across sectors is key.

Thank you, Isabel, for sharing your vision with us—we look forward to continuing the conversation and working together to drive lasting change.
