Technology has often positively impacted humanity in numerous ways, from the harnessing of electricity and the invention of the telephone, to the development of the Internet and now the development of coding and the creation of apps. Unfortunately, it also has created a gap or divide (educational, economic and financial) between people and nations. ISTG believes that technology combined with innovation, entrepreurship and investement can be used as an economic engin. ISTG also believes technology to be a great equalizer to improve the overall sceintific, educatiional and health infrastructure, and enhance the quality of life for the average human being. Therefore, we believe that in the 21st century, "technology is not an option!"
