How has Silicon Valley responded to U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan's challenge to the region to "broaden its horizon and bring more of its remarkable dynamism and innovation to the developing world"?

"I believe that the innovation and entrepreneurship that made Silicon Valley the birthplace of the Information Revolution can and should be part of the solution to sustainable global development. This Summit is our opportunity to join with the global organizations that are leading the charge by leveraging our considerable skills and experience. I urge all of the Valley Leaders to come forward to help us work for a better future."

-Bill Coleman, Chairman, Silicon Valley Leadership Group, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer, Cassatt Corporation
