Raspberry Pi Semiconductor (46)

Democratising technology - providing access to tools - has been our driving force since the Raspberry Pi project began. By reducing the cost of general-purpose computing to less than $5, we've given anyone the ability to use computers in projects that used to require a lot of money. Today, with barriers to entry removed, we see Raspberry Pi computers everywhere, from interactive museum exhibits and schools to national postal sorting offices and government call centres. Kitchen table businesses around the world have been able to scale up and succeed in ways that were not possible in a world where integrating technology meant spending a lot of money on laptops and PCs.
