Our Mission & Introduction
This site has moved to www.neocircuit.org.
Recent advances in information technology are becoming pivotal to the process of socio-economic development. Information technology offers new ways of exchanging information, and transacting businesses. It changes the nature of financial, medical, communication sectors and provides efficient means of using the human and institutional capabilities of nations in both the public and private sectors. The world is rapidly moving towards knowledge-based economic structures and information societies, which comprise networks of individuals, firms and nations that are linked electronically and in interdependent globalize relationships.
The pervasive growth in the information technology sector since late 1980s has been facilitated by the phenomenal growth of the semiconductor technology. This growth is dual faceted: software and hardware. While software technology has been popular in the developing countries, the hardware is largely non-existent. Inability of these nations to develop competence in hardware has stalled the institutional capacities to compete in the world. This becomes important since there are interrelationships between the hardware and software while developing creative solutions to the world technical and business challenges. As nations learn technology, they adapt it and consequently create technological diffusion, which enables wealth creation.
Around the world, technical education has become a vital instrument for wealth and national prosperity. In any developed nation, this education occupies a key strategic position. It is understood that new (successful) technologies are important to a healthy economy. Consequently, technical education is well funded to drive innovation in the economy.
Today, there is a limit to national wealth creation without science and technology. Experiences have shown that natural resources in form of crude oil, diamond, tin and others may not create the needed national growth for stability and prosperity in many African nations. An alternative would be to support technological innovation if the continent must survive the intense competition of the 21st century fuelled by globalization.
Technology diffuses only when it is developed or acquired. For many years, Africa has been slow to the development of the most pervasive industry of our time- semiconductor. The major challenge has been human capital to drive the industry.
At NeoCircuit, we are engineers which major in semiconductor related areas. We understand the concepts which are used to build computer processors and other cutting edge technologies. We are poised to facilitate diffusion of new technologies in Africa through quality training and consulting. Providing this service bridges the knowledge gap.
Our operational logistics is very simple. Invite us to develop a curriculum in your institution; organize a workshop/seminar, educate your students/staffs on the use of VLSI CAD tools and software, program robots, design in FPGA, VHDL and many more. With our skills, we would train these students/staffs with current and comprehensive programs which would enhance performance and capabilities. For "in this century, Technology will rule Nations and Algorithms will be the Constitutions".
