Tools & innovations that drive progress & efficiency.
Tech becomes a powerful enabler when applied locally—supporting digital platforms for local exchange, smart logistics, energy efficiency, or even open-source manufacturing tools. The goal isn’t just high-tech for tech’s sake, but appropriate technology that empowers local people, reduces reliance on distant infrastructure, & increases local capacity. ‹›
Strategy
Strengthen Local Production & Services
Create local micro-factories & manufacturing:
+ Build or repurpose spaces for small-scale production.
+ Offer access to tools, materials, & shared knowledge.
+ Develop localised services that meet everyday needs (transport, repair, food, wellness).
Encourage cooperatives, social enterprises, & circular business models.
