World Technology Partner’s mission is to promote technology around the world through development of informational, programming and educational resources. Our efforts are to develop new strategies to highlight the increasing research, collaboration and opportunities throughout the world for future generations. The organization offers a web site focusing on world-wide research and frequent web sessions, World Tech Chats on the Google platform.

In early June, we will hosting our second Annual Green Sustainability Showcase, which similar to this event supports doctorate, graduate or undergraduate students in their research and scholarly activities. In addition to the sustainability arena, we will be focusing on environmental engineering, civil engineering. Special consideration is also being given this year to efforts in “organic architecture” following up on the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, who was experimenting with the concept approximately 100 years ago.

In the fall, we will be holding our third Annual Competition which will award $1000 honorariums. We hope you can help us publicize and perhaps even participate in these efforts.
