New York, NY — May 13, 2026 — The Nomad Futurist Foundation proudly announces Tropical IT as its newest Changemaker Sponsor, reinforcing a shared commitment to opening doors, increasing awareness, and creating meaningful pathways into the digital infrastructure industry for the next generation.
This collaboration is grounded in a common purpose: breaking down barriers — whether in access to technology, understanding of the industry, or opportunity for those looking to enter it. As the Nomad Futurist Foundation continues to demystify digital infrastructure through education, storytelling, and community-driven initiatives, the support of sponsors like Tropical IT plays a critical role in expanding that impact.
“Everything we do is centered around access… helping people see themselves in an industry they may not have known existed,” said Phillip Koblence, Co-Founder of Nomad Futurist Foundation. “Tropical IT shares that mindset. Their support allows us to go further in reaching students and early-career talent, especially those who have historically been underrepresented in this space.”
Through this sponsorship, Tropical IT will directly support the Foundation’s programs that introduce young people to the world behind the internet, connecting them to real stories, real career paths, and real opportunities within digital infrastructure.
“At Tropical IT, we believe one of the biggest barriers in this industry isn’t just technological complexity,
but access,” said Agustina Vega, Head of Marketing at Tropical IT. “Not because of the technology itself, but because the ecosystem can be fragmented and difficult to navigate for those looking to enter and grow within it. Supporting the Nomad Futurist Foundation is one way to change that, helping more people understand how this industry works, how to access it, and how to build a path within it, because the future of infrastructure won’t depend only on better systems, but on who has the opportunity to build them.”
Together, the Nomad Futurist Foundation and Tropical IT are helping redefine what the future of digital infrastructure looks like: one where opportunity is visible, access is intentional, and the next generation is prepared to lead. This collaboration reflects a joint commitment to not just supporting the industry as it exists today, but actively shaping who gets to be part of it tomorrow.
