Make an impact
In 1997 IBM DeepBlue - a computer program - won a chess match against Kasparov - a world chess champion. That milestone achievement was only the tip of the iceberg for the technology opportunities in the Information Age. High performance computing enhances capabilities for knowledge based processes of learning and problem solving and are a core part of the Helva business model. Challenges of the 21st century although complex are solvable problems with the right combination of human innovation and state of the art research and engineering resources.
21st century global challenges
- Systemic risks from highly integrated globalized networks
- Climate change - reversing the trends and building resiliance
- Limited natural resources including fossil fuels
- Urban population growth
- Disparate distribution of access to essential services
- Threats to life - natural disasters, epidemics, accidental death
- Essential human support services
- Energy
- Transport
- Water
- Food
- Sanitation
- Climate control
The current state of the world may appear as an apex of prosperity and exciting opportunities for the future. Several fundamental aspects of the structure of the global economy however are unsustainable and as a consequence capability to sustain even basic life support systems such as food supply are at risk. Furthermore the prospects for the future are not shared by all globally and are concentrated in a minority of the population. Many of the risk factors are human-made, and if action taken early enough, can be averted in time before they result in irreversible loss.
Global coordination and political action will be critical components of any attempt to implement change. To empower citizens with the best options Helva's role is to address the relevant barriers in information through technology, engineering and education.
