 Founding members of One Economy Corporation today announced the formation of Centri Tech, a social venture mobilizing the full potential of technology to lift the human condition – a concept it calls "digital advancement."

This "digital advancement" approach intersects real estate, housing, technology, culture and innovation to overcome socio-economic disparities and calls for (1) a widespread technology policy and practice agenda focused on both public and private sectors, (2) a network of like-minded entities from the public sector, technology and corporate industries, philanthropy, as well as the community development and housing sector, and (3) digital innovation practices to leverage new technologies with social purpose. Centri Tech integrates these three strategies into a platform to drive impact for society and the people in it, with a focus on improved health, wealth and environment.

"We are at a moment of historic opportunity. The disruption unleashed by the pandemic, alongside widespread calls for transformative change, have opened the way to new possibilities. Now is the time to fulfill that promise of technology, the promise of a better and more equitable life for all people. We need not limit the boundaries of our creativity to merely the digital divide. Our society is technology-driven and powered by innovation. We can harness these assets for social purpose and reimagine the role of tech to advance digital opportunities that position Americans to thrive in the digital economy," said Rey Ramsey, founder and CEO of Centri Tech.

This effort is not the first time that the team behind Centri Tech has led in this space.
