About
OUR MISSION
To connect people and companies who are passionate about advanced tech platforms with the plans, policies, programs, and information they need to succeed.
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.
