Advens for People and Planet

Advens for People and Planet is an endowment fund (non-profit organization) created by the cybersecurity company Advens in 2021. Its aim is to develop and accelerate impact initiatives that participate in building a trusted digital society, notably by protecting the people and organizations that drive our lives and democracies, and by empowering each and everyone to build their own mind and engage in action(s).
