The vision of Project Cauã is to:

• reduce the amount of electricity used by present and future desktop computers
• reduce the amount of landfill and hazardous components used by computer systems
• make end user computing easier and more efficient
• provide better services for various vertical markets by more complete integration of computer technologies
• create a free-of-charge wireless mesh bubble over large sections of urban areas (80% of Latin Americans live in an Urban environment)
• bring better security to computer users
• bring Internet connectivity to the Digitally Disadvantaged
• create and implement an open model of telephony/communication
• create between one and two million high-tech jobs in Brazil, with another one or two million high-tech jobs in the rest of Latin America
• have a lot of these jobs for the typically "hard to employ" (for example, single parents and the physically handicapped)
• create freely licensable hardware designs for manufacture inside of Latin America, employing thousands more people
• triple or quadruple the number of FOSS developers in the world
• do all of this in a capitalistic, sustainable way, with little or no money coming from government

Other goals may be added to the vision later.
