Handasa Arabia Organization
The document discusses the status of Arab education and talent pools. It outlines the growth in student and university populations in Arab countries from 1985-2004. However, average funding per student is lower than developed countries. This can have negative impacts like low quality libraries and large class sizes. The document also describes talent pools of Arab individuals in US academia and industry. It then summarizes the mission and activities of the Handasa Arabia Organization which aims to promote open source hardware development to bridge technological gaps and build talent pools in the Arab world through an online platform and projects.

- 39. Hi-Tech Promotion inDeveloping Countries Open-source hardware is an open resource for industrial and academic fields. Lack of high-tech activities and firms. Lack of expertise in the high-tech field. Open-source allows interaction with a wide spectrum of experts in high-tech fields all over the world. HDL designs that address programmable logic devices based implementation platforms can be affordable, as chip manufacturing is beyond economic capabilities. Open source might help focus the spotlight on high-tech talents and qualifications in developing countries that are hidden due to market constraints .
