Nfr Institute of Technology, Incorporated

Nfr Institute of Technology promotes sustainable quality-of-life. We focus on improving the region by improving the individual and his ability to solve problems, make decisions, and innovate.

About

The goal of communities is to achieve a quality of life (Qr) that meets the needs and desires of its citizens. Qr is a function of the ability of a region to provide basic needs(Condition), manage the needs and desires of its citizens (Character), and provide a means for its people to pursue their passions (Culture). These factors have a compounding effect on Qr and not merely a cumulative one. We therefore describe regional quality of life as Qr = CCCP, where P = the people in the region.

In order to retain people from within and attract people to a region, communities must provide to citizens an infrastructure that facilitates innovation and encourages startup development. Startups give communities the Ability to Create Tangible things (ACT) necessary for people to survive and thrive in a region.   

Teaching people how to ACT in order to meet the needs and desires of a region’s population is the way that Nfr Institute of Technology helps our community improve quality of life.
