So to paraphrase, it appears you're asking for a name representing a
"meme-plex" comprising the various memetic domains supporting the
advancement of NBIC technologies.

I would refer to this as a wide arc of **extropic** thought.

In more conventional terminology, I suppose it could be referred to as
"technoprogressive", in the purer sense unencumbered with the
connotations of left-wing politics, having quite successfully co-opted
"progressive" for their own purposes.
