pooling = drawing on (this is not a suggested improvement, but merely an option).

Alternatives:
"... boosted the pride of humanity, pooling the cutting-edge..."
"... boosted the pride of humanity by showcasing the cutting-edge..."

'combining' resources or skills so maybe ..."combining the cutting edge technologies..."
but not as good as 'pooling'
'Pooling' means everybody puts their stuff/technology/skills/resources into a 'pool' and then all share the benefits or proceeds of that collaboration.
