The Mission

Proactive Global have partnered with an exciting AI business who are striving to create the world's
leading, commercially scalable, safe, and advanced humanoid robots that seamlessly integrate into
daily life and amplify human capacity.

Vision

In a world where artificial intelligence opens up new horizons, our faith in its potential unveils a new
outlook where, together, humans and machines build a new future filled with knowledge,
inspiration, and incredible discoveries. The development of a functional humanoid robot underpins
an era of abundance and well-being where poverty will disappear, and people will be able to choose
what they want to do. We believe that providing a universal basic income will eventually be a true
evolution of our civilization.

Solution

As the demands on our built environment rise, labour shortages loom. With the world's workforce

is safeguarded while closing the gaps in critical global labour needs.
