We believe that this university
should commit itself to achieving
  the goal, before this decade is
out, of installing our technologies
 and science in the companies of
the Silicon Valley and benefiting
   from the investments to the
              Estonia.
We choose to go to the
   Silicon Valley!
We choose to go to the Silicon
 Valley, not because this is easy, but
  because this is hard, because that
   goal will serve to organise and
  measure the best of our professors
 and skills, because that challenge is
one that we are willing to accept, one
  we are unwilling to postpone, and
    one which we intend to win.
