In our previous post, we described why the SMB sector of the world economy should be more creative and how we can empower this sector to be so. In our opinion, the key factor for doing this, is to share the usage right of the new and first-hand technologies with SMBs. Our proposed sharing model does not necessarily use open technology models as the open models do not generally make a notable profit for the using parties. As the long-term and consistent growth of a company and consequently an economy is based on profit, using the protected technologies can be a more reliable source of income & profits for all companies including the SMBs. To this end, the only remaining model for the shared use of a protected technology is non-exclusive licensing.

 
Traditionally, when the energy price is low, there is much more money available to the other sectors of the world's economy. Among these sectors, technology sector is more attractive and also more frenzied! There is an old belief that the technology evolves rapidly and therefore the tech sector grows rapidly, so it should be a lucrative and somehow a safe target for investment. As the oil price is now under $50 per barrel, we are currently standing in a low-price energy era. So it should not be surprising when we hear that the tech companies like Uber and Slack have received so much VC funds which have currently no plan to spend them!
