The Power of Access Hamdi Osman Senior Vice President Middle East, Indian Subcontinent and Africa

Understanding Access

Access is the force that makes all forms of interaction and exchange possible between people, businesses and nations.

Access is the ability to connect. It is powered by anything that makes it easier for people and businesses to connect with each other — whether it’s a smartphone or a computer or the ability to ship a package overnight to anywhere in the world.

When Access expands, it empowers people with the ability and confidence to improve their current conditions and future prospects. Access creates new opportunities, accelerates and simplifies global connections and changes what’s possible.

FedEx and Access FedEx has been a driving force behind many milestones and advances in Access. Express delivery was a historic breakthrough in Access, collapsing the time and distance between places and connecting people everywhere.

We are tireless advocates for Access and the opportunities that come with it, because we know from our own research that Access drives positive change. Our company has become a student of Access, analyzing its impact on everything from global corporations to remote villages.

While Access gained its force from the collective efforts of many people and businesses, FedEx makes it our business to extend Access — and the opportunities that come with it — to the entire world.

The connection is profound: Nations thrive or stagnate based on Access. There is an undeniable link between Access and human well-being.

Nearly 40 years ago, FedEx began by connecting 25 U.S. cities.
