The company
7Cs WorldBridge focus on development of connectivity (networks),
relevant content (services) and local capacity for academic institutions
and rural communities in developing countries.
As the name implies, the company offers its services worldwide,
building bridges between people in communities across the "Seven Seas".
All seven partners have experience in working in cross-cultural contexts
with projects that involve planning and development of networks and
ICT-based services in one or several occupational sectors, such as
Education, Health, Research and development, SMEs and Trade.
We strive to provide input which will enable the public at large to
participate in the democratic process, to exchange information, to
collaborate for common goals, and to conduct trade across geographical
boundaries. Our expert areas are:
- Academic networks, which will enable South-South, as
well as
South-North cooperation in education and in research and development,
and which will have a major positive impact on development in
general.
- Access to ICTs in rural and remote areas
through the
introduction of innovative and sustainable business models, for example,
Micro-Operator Franchaising Systems (MOFS) and Multipurpose Community
Telecentres (MCT), which will enable the many people living in such
areas to benefit from, and contribute to, the ever growing body of
information and other resources available through digital networks, such
as the Internet.
- IT based user applications, taylor-made to function as
a
development
tool in the South targeting the needs especially for the Internet
non-subscribing public and the poor in general.
