Charter

Bridging the Digital Divide
At TAUGENCE, we believe that knowledge is a global public good. Our commitment to open access research ensures that the benefits of our work reach communities across the globe, particularly those who stand to benefit most from technological advancements.
We are dedicated to empowering individuals and communities with the knowledge and tools they need to thrive in the digital economy. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) reports that 3.6 billion people lack internet access. This highlights the crucial need for equitable access to digital resources. TAUGENCE's commitment to research-led economic development ensures that the benefits of our work reach communities around the world, particularly those who would benefit most from technological advancements.
Digital Inclusion Initiatives
As of 2022, the World Bank reported that nearly 40% of the global population lacks access to the internet, a staggering statistic that reflects the widening digital divide. TAUGENCE’s digital inclusion programmes are designed to address this gap by providing resources, training, and mentorship to individuals and organisations in developing regions.
Through partnerships with local governments, NGOs, and international bodies, we work to create sustainable digital infrastructure and foster digital literacy in regions where access to technology remains limited. Our goal is to empower communities to build localised tech ecosystems that can drive economic growth and social equity.
Talent Development in Underrepresented Regions
TAUGENCE is deeply committed to identifying and nurturing talent in regions that have historically been underrepresented in the global tech ecosystem. Through our scholarships, mentorship programmes, and leadership development initiatives, we ensure that talented individuals from developing nations and marginalised communities have access to the education, training, and networks they need to thrive.
Our focus aligns with the United Nations’ SDGs, particularly Goal 4 (Quality Education) and Goal 10 (Reduced Inequalities), as we work to provide opportunities for those most in need of access to world-class education and professional development.
Partnerships for Sustainable Development
TAUGENCE collaborates with key stakeholders, including the United Nations, World Economic Forum, and World Bank, to design and implement programmes that promote inclusive and sustainable industrialisation. We focus on building long-term partnerships that empower local communities and governments to leverage technology for the betterment of their populations.
Technology Advocacy
TAUGENCE advocates for the ethical use of technology, recognizing that its impact extends beyond immediate applications. Our efforts focus on ensuring equitable benefits, promoting inclusivity, fostering sustainability, and upholding human rights in the digital age. We believe that technological advancements should be driven not only by innovation but also by ethical considerations and principles.
Through our research partnerships with leading academic institutions and industry experts, we generate in-depth policy papers and thought leadership on critical issues related to the responsible development and deployment of technology. This research informs our advocacy efforts and helps shape our understanding of emerging technologies and their potential impact on society.
We actively engage with policymakers, industry leaders, and civil society organizations to raise awareness and promote responsible technological practices. Our work aligns with the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, contributing to a more equitable and sustainable future powered by technology.
