Non-profit Projects

The main non-profit customer is the International Traditional Knowledge Institute, USA (ITKIUS), in Tucson, Arizona. Tech Gap Solutions is leading the development of the Creative Knowledge Platform (CKP).

Promoted by UNESCO in 2010, ITKI is an initiative to gather detailed information about traditional techniques and sustainable technologies used by ancient cultures, otherwise known as Traditional Knowledge (TK). The ITKIUS was formed with the support of the University of Arizona and the City of Tucson to further the scope of the ITKI initiatives in North America.

The Creative Knowledge Platform is a project dedicated to helping Knowledge Keepers maintain their traditions. The CKP offers a variety of opportunities to express the uniqueness within each city and to implement a local model to promote its Knowledge Keepers.

The CKP is composed of websites, apps, and virtual-reality environments that engage visitors in a simulated, expanded, and extended experience, guide visitors in the city's spaces, and allow them to retain memory of the activities even after a visit.

The CKP component is now available as the TRusTTM App (search for "trusttm" in the App Store or Google Play). It supports communities of artisans and farmers in leveraging their unique Traditional and Creative Knowledge to reach one of the objectives set by the United Nations 2030 Agenda, Goal 8, "To promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all".
