“Same as at previous editions of our Air Power Symposium, the Toffler Associates presentation was, again, not only informative and thought-provoking, it was also a key contributing factor to the overall success of the symposium.” Senior Official, Royal Netherlands Air Force

INTERNATIONAL LEADERS We partner with both commercial Heads of state and other international leaders have turned to us for guidance in making the difficult transition into the knowledge-based economy. South Korea Then President Kim Dae Jung sought guidance in helping his country's high-tech businesses to compete with those of more advanced economies. Toffler Associates' recommendations: Increased public and private sector investment in the "cyber-infrastructure" Identified promotion of the biotechnology industry as a key future growth area Defined tax and other incentives that have stimulated growth of targeted small- and medium-sized businesses.   Costa Rica Then President Miguel Ángel Rodríguez Echeverría asked Toffler Associates to identify the structural barriers impeding Costa Rica's efforts to develop a world-class information technology industry. Our analysis led Rodríguez's government to approve legislation to modernize and gradually introduce competition into the telecommunications sector. It has also inspired a number of policy initiatives to stimulate this competition.   Australia The Australian Defence Force (ADF) wanted to create a network of partners (businesses, other government agencies, etc.) to supply — efficiently, reliably, creatively — the products and services that military forces needed to do their mission. Toffler Associates' recommendations enhanced Australia's national defense capabilities by laying the groundwork for fundamental reform of business relations between industry and the government.   Mexico The CEO of a multibillion-dollar Mexican telecommunications company asked us how best to increase country-wide access to modern telecommunications. Toffler Associates' broad-ranging recommendations led to: New market mechanisms and government policies to expand access rapidly Proposals for a new limited universal access funding mechanism to bring service to areas where market mechanisms do not work Strengthened regulatory authority New appreciation within the World Trade Organization of the special issues associated with expanding citizen access to the information infrastructure in developing countries.   Singapore The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS), the government entity responsible for operating Singapore Changi Airport, wanted to assess the economic consequences of key trends shaping the aviation industry over the next 10 years. Toffler Associates' work spurred CAAS to make investments — as well as changes in policy, procedures and relationships — that have helped prepare Singapore for the rapidly changing future transportation market.    Contact us to see how we can help.
