The team of LENR-Cities, after the recent interview where they announced their vision and some announces for may, is restructuring their website :
I underlined what make me react, what is important, or surprising from my point of View.
The site is still small, clearer than before, with a general warning that smell like spring break season announce:
In work ... more in May
Hope they can deliver, but we should expect delay like on any real project.
They present a short vision, toward their three target stakeholder... See below.
I'm not sure to understand well the project but I remind of an expression :
"Mutual Assured Development"
The idea is that with good market and partnership rules, your interest is not only to cooperate with companies in the ecosystem, but also to support them, and even ask them to innovate and develop faster, because it is your own interest.
I imagine they have designed effective playground-rules for IP-sharing, collaboration, respect of each work and assets....
The notion of "catalyst", that small group of scientists, investor and industrialist, remind me the network effect (fax effect, some would say the Facebook effect today) where the value of participating to an ecosystem is linked to the members present.Economist says, that it creates a "positive externalities".
They also warn old-style innovators, that the game is more risky than before because it is disruptive innovation. That not only you have to prepare to change the world, but be ready that it change without you being ready.
I will have many question to ask, to check if my understanding is correct...As some have already asked to better understand what is that ecosystem model, we should make role-play, explaining how various actors will be welcomed and will work inside the ecosystem...
To be continued...
Here are their vision as expressed:

- Investor
- The challenge : Disruptive innovation is not anymore a possibility but a certainty. The nature of risk is changing. Risk is now deeply linked to market transition and to disruptive systemic effects on market. That means funding of innovation is becoming deeply linked to capabilities to capture change and not only to make change that is to say managing market risks. LENR is a perfect "Market case". We are working on new approach of funding innovation deeply linked to market.

- Scientists
- The Challenge: Challenge is to develop the field of engineering of matter (Green and abundant energy, superconductivity, transmutation and hydrogen production) to address world challenges in Energy and Water and consequently contribute to Sustainability.

The main page gives a more general description:
Quote
- The Challenge : Low Energy Nuclear Reactions research will become a new field of engineering capable to address world challenges regarding Energy with a global impact. It is therefore clear that any LENR projects intersects with multiple interests and issues which create the conditions for their failure. To address this main issue, it is required to enabling industries and actors to concurrently integrate their industry into LENR industry that is to say to define open capabilities to securely enable any player to come into the game.
- Strategy: Step by step, our project is to reach that objective in a well defined approach. To succeed, LENR requires being innovative as regards the path to develop and industrialize LENR with innovative ways about getting funding, using IP, enabling industry development up to opening market and talking with customers. We are designing and building this innovative market organization and strategy working with innovators in fields of science, finance and industry. We are getting teams joining an –Ecosystem – of projects.
- Solution: LENR-Cities, a Swiss organization, is leading the Ecosystem. Each project is run independently, with its own objectives, but contributes to the achievement of the overall project which itself is reinforcing everyone's capabilities and interest to support the overall project. We are now building the core of the Ecosystem with a small group of key scientists, investors and industrialists, individuals and public or private organizations. Objective of this group is to be the catalyst of the whole project.
Ready for may...
