Mission Statement
We believe that the promotion of technology growth can help remove a number of existing inequalities in gender, race, and geographical location. The development of technology together with trade has helped equalize wealth around the world. The most notable of these are the industrialization of the Nordic countries, and Japan. Most recently, technology economy has led to the industrialization of China, and closely on the heel, the development of India. China claims that over 700 million people have been lifted out of poverty, which is more than the population of South America.
We hope that with rapid growth in technology, economic development will spread to Africa as well as South America. We live in a world that grows more than enough food to feed us, and has the ability to manufacture more goods than ever. With tremendous improvements in communication technologies, knowledge can be disseminated rapidly through the Internet and wealth can be shared through our new transportation capabilities.
