To be competitive in today’s information society, students need to develop 21st century skills such as problem solving, critical thinking and collaboration. Intel works with governments and educators to help today’s students develop these proficiencies through its education and digital inclusion programs in more than 50 countries.
“The most valuable assets in the world today are ideas and the people who create and develop them,” said Barrett. Intel makes significant investments in local companies that enable growth and technology adoption through Intel Capital, the company’s venture capital branch. To further support local innovation Intel has opened Platform Definition Centers based in Bangalore, Cairo, Sao Paulo, and Shanghai.
“Infrastructure is the key to connecting people and ideas,” said Barrett. Intel is driving the development and deployment of broadband wireless technologies such as WiMAX to promote an infrastructure that meets the needs of developing nations without relying on legacy networks. Carriers around the world are now deploying WiMAX networks to deliver broadband access to homes, businesses, schools and healthcare facilities.
“Technology empowers individuals, but it alone is not the solution,” said Barrett. “Government and business must collaborate to create the right environment for every economy to thrive.”
Intel, the world's largest chip maker, is also a leading manufacturer of computer, networking and communications products. Additional information about Intel is available at www.intel.com/pressroom.
