In his excellent article from September 2019, "Talent is everywhere, opportunity not", Max Roser describes the strong correlation between economic development, research and innovation.
Based on statistics, he clarifies that if high-ability children from disadvantaged groups would benefit from the same circumstances as the best-off groups, there would be four times as many inventors as today.
And that goes beyond only inventors: when gifted young people do not find themselves in a nurturing environment, we are losing out on teachers, writers, artists, scientists, painters, thinkers, musicians, and a host of other professions that can enhance the world.
We at Europe Learners have a goal of contributing to reducing and bridging educational gaps in the world by creating innovative learning technologies that are affordable, interactive and engaging.
That's what makes us get out of bed early!
