The Center will bring together a wide range of scholars, commentators , and
decision-makers from both developed and developing countries to analyze how
entrepreneurship and political decentralization can provide ordinary people
with essential tools to overcome the dire conditions brought about by
political and economic centralization in many countries. Members include fabless companies and
their supply chain and service partners, representing more than 21
countries across the globe.

"Nearly 200 years after the industrial revolution, it is a tragic fact and
demonstrably unnecessary that half the world's population is living in abject
poverty and misery," he said, "and yet there already exists a wealth of both
science and practical examples of the kinds of solutions that would end world
poverty." Approximately 10 percent of the present world population (roughly
600 million people) is estimated to exist at or below an equivalent economic
level of $1 per day and approximately half of the world population (3 billion
people) live at or below an equivalent economic level of $2 per day.
