LENR-Cities relooking it's website, detailing their vision...

    • Official Post

    The team of LENR-Cities, after the recent interview where they announced their vision and some announces for may, is restructuring their website :


    http://lenr-cities.com/


    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. :rolleyes:


    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.
      • Building... 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. More in May...
    • Enterprise
      • The Challenge: Develop with us the new LENR industry and its integration in your own industry ...
      • Building... 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. More in May...
    • 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...

  • Hello Alain,


    Let's consider an example. The Stock exchange. There's a company which operates the stock exchange. This company does not own the shares listed at the stock exchange. Traders use the Stock exchange. Traders and the stock exchange form the ecosystem. The Stock exchange company is a member of this ecosystem. Let's now consider the value of a company based on its share value. This information is used by the market to decide companies whose they want to buy or sell shares. Traders have a business agreement with the stock exchange company. This agreement enables traders to do buy and sell shares for their customers and for themselves. Without traders no stock exchange. Without the stock exchange company, no traders, no customers for traders.


    LENR-Cities does not own any kind of rights of LENR technology. LENR-Cities build a market where traders are investors and customers industry companies. Industry companies are also investors. LENR-Cities does not define how actors collaborate. LENR-Cites has defined a model of collaboration with appropriate business services to get actors to define efficient and fair collaboration. Any actor can have as usual business agreement with LENR-Cities to use this services and operate into the "LENR market sandbox" ( i.e the stock exchange in our previous example).


    in order to join, any actor must agree to join the ecosystem first. That is to say, to bring its own capability as part of Market sandbox which define what this market is. Operational services are provided by members of the ecosystem. What LENR-Cities is adding is the Market itself in order to enable these companies to operate.


    Ecosystems are becoming a key resource for business. How to create, develop and operate them is the LENR-Cities expertise. What the ecosystem is doing depend on members of the ecosytem. For now, LENR-Cities has defined Ecosystem business services for Scientists, is working on implementing business services with industrial companies and investors.


    Hope this help :)


    ps : We use advanced models translated from IT world to industry world, say industry 2.0 :) That means a powerful market platform will support the whole ecosystem...


    Thank you
    Michel.
