Vision Statement & Principles

A structured, visual summary of inaglobe's vision and the principles that guided how work was done.

Vision

inaglobe strives to integrate into formal learning processes the necessity of building technology and innovation in an inclusive and sustainable manner, and globally. There is an imperative to build technology such that it meets the needs of everyone, and that considers sustainability in all contexts. Tomorrow's innovators, engineers, and designers need to think about the problems they are addressing at a global scale.

We aim to train a new generation of engineers, entrepreneurs, and innovators with the global acumen and social awareness needed to build technology for the wider needs of the world. This includes grounding learning in grassroots projects and collaborations with communities whose contexts are often very different from those of students in universities with access to advanced technologies.

We seek to inspire young people to become global citizens, and to break down the barriers of borders when it comes to building technologies.
