ampliar las posibilidades


Explanation:
En otros contextos empower se puede traducir como delegar, facultar, etc. En éste lo que mejor me suena es algo así como "Internet da acceso a los recursos educativos y de información que amplían las posibilidades culturales y económicas de nuestros ciudadanos", o "...que amplían el panorama cultural y económico...", o "que elevan el nivel cultural y las posibilidades económicas de nuestros ciudadanos".

potenciar


Explanation:
El (o la) Internet brinda un acceso a recursos de información y educativos que van potenciando a nuestros ciudadanos tanto en lo cultural como en lo económico.

"Empowerment" es una de esas dificultades de la traducción pero tiene sus equivalentes. "Otorgar facultades" es otra. "Empoderamiento" no; es una palabra inventada.
