Working to Close Digital Divide, Company Relocates to Hartford
GreenShare Technology aims to put computers into the hands of those who otherwise can't afford them, providing a productive use for equipment otherwise destined for landfills.
GreenShare Technology is a company that takes its mission – to bridge the digital divide by providing technology to those who cannot afford it – quite seriously. That is plainly evident in their move from Farmington to new, larger headquarters at 1200 Park Street in Hartford.
The new, 2,000 square foot location doubles the company’s space, allowing GreenShare Technology to bring more affordable computers and computer maintenance services to Hartford and surrounding areas. The company plans to provide basic computer training and computer recycling services on-site. The new location will also contain a retail section where customers can try out computers before purchasing them.
GreenShare Technology received the 2011 Social Entrepreneur Award and the 2010 Hartford Young Professionals & Entrepreneurs (HYPE) Award. The company is a reSET incubator program.
