Human Capital is the key to development; thus, there is no wealth other than human wealth. It follows, then, that investments in humanity and knowledge are the decisive factors in assuring the quality of life.

Therefore, in addition to its economic and commercial objectives, TANEX Corporation and other Institutions have decided to establish an Institute to exert considerable efforts to help improve the quality of life in the developing countries.

Thus, TANEX Institute came to existence as an independent non-profit organization.

TANEX Institute mission is to promote development research and training activities in the developing world to find solutions to economic, social, cultural, technological, institutional and environmental problems.
