OUR VISION
To be the premier international resource within the advanced tech ecosystem, developing policy, planning and programming solutions to fuel the innovation that will forge a better future for us all.
OUR VALUES - 3Ps
The idea of the 3Ps - Purpose, Passion & Purity originated from my TedX "Life and leadership, from a Lawyer". The 3Ps inspired the original company name, P3 Tech (albeit different Ps - People, Platforms, Policies) and continue to inspire everything we do in this company. The 3Ps have become our core values.
