For me, the current world crisis is making me rethink what is important in life. So, I want to drop a question here in LeoFinance since most of you are a little more into investing than I am.

The question
If you can help invest in something (time, knowledge or money), or had the opportunity to create a new product or service to the world. What would it be and why?
For context:
I looked up the prices of a couple of popular indicators for the world economics and their prices beginning of the years compared to this past weekend to see the impact of COVID-19 (the coronavirus) in the world.
- Berkshire Hathaway 342.261 > 257.346
- Dow Jones: 28.869 > 19.174
- Bitcoin: 7.175 > 6.057
- Amazon 1.898 > 1.846
- Gold 1.519 > 1.498
- Alphabet 1.368 > 1.068
- Tesla 430,26 > 427,53
- Tencent 382,40 > 359,60
- Facebook 209,78 > 194,73
- Nestlé 106,32 > 97,98
- Gilead Sciences 65,23 > 73,26
- Oil 61,68 > 22,63
- Air France-KLM 10,25 > 4,62
Of course it also makes me wonder what the impact of COVID-19 will be on the world economics and see if the will be a shift towards companies and products that help make the world a better place.
I also made a list of companies/organisations that caught my attention and are currently NGO's or non-listed/private companies:

Would love to hear your thoughts.
