Democratizing technology by providing access to tools has been the motivation since the Raspberry Pi project began. Raspberry Pi removes the high entry cost to computing for people across all demographics.
While children can benefit from a computing education that previously wasn’t open to them, many adults have also historically been priced out of using computers for enterprise, entertainment and creativity.
Raspberry Pi eliminates those barriers. Kitchen table businesses all over the world have been able to scale and find success in a way that just wasn’t possible in a world where integrating technology meant spending large sums on laptops and PCs.
Our partnership with Raspberry pi is essential in expanding the local ecosystem of developers with knowledge and capacity to design IOT products using Raspberry Pi chips. This is both a commercial and technical partnership that will help build the local developer capacity to utilise raspberry Pi products but also ensure access to raspberry Pi.
