1.0 Executive Summary The Institute of Vision & Message is a private research laboratory which will conduct research in nanotechnology, robotics and technology of the social development. Three main locations of the Institute: Facility Incheon City, Korea (to be built), Facility at the Island of Korcula/Blato, which will serve for research in agronomy, economics and genetics; and Virtual institute (to be created), which will serve for research in social development, cognitive modeling, artificial intelligence, and IT neurological research. Proposed business plan and project scope for the next 7 years is a vision of how the market, the high-end technology industries and the society will look like in that time frame and beyond, however, as the market is vibrant and unexpected the Institute will adapt its strategy, projects and all to the market trends. A vision of upcoming society, such an intangible projection of the future could hardly be quantified or measured, yet this business plan manages to put the vision in a relation of expenses, business model and return of investments. Historically, and even more, posthistorically, the idea is for the Institute to create noncompetitive placid society, consequently rendering abatement of masproduction, culturing self-sustainable networked communities who all participate in the same realization of the common good and in reaching global SOCIAL OPTIMUM. Inauguration of the intellect and creation as a main value in a society. Abatement of the social contract. Realization of the human as a free individual. Discovering and applying complex systems. Discovering polidimension(s) placing neohuman or posthuman phase on the lowest notch of the development ladder. Manipulating with atoms and nanostructures, creating new communication paradigm, developing human interaction interface or intelligent cybernetic entity, represent the tools the Institute will use for achieving its goal: reaching the next stage of human and posthumanevolution. If we ought to define business infrastructure of the system(s) we define it as a new open business model thriving on the complexity of the system behind. The supremacy of the proposed system doesnt mean merely breaking the barriers between sectors: SME-s, academia, corporate, NGO, civil society etc. because it would be a negative definition, it has to be in linking all social producing powers in complex yet flexible infrastructure/ system, hitherto an element of even complex system, or a cluster of systems; congregating infrastructures, ideas, investments and economy sectors. The legal infrastructure is viable as long as it provides flexible, sustainable and noncumbersome system that both could provide economic feasibility for the contemporary market and sustainability and responsibility for the future one. Furthermore, the goal of the Institute is to create progress, new economies, new systems and new value in a society at

large. A legal framework of the Program is a company with the shared capital, or a cluster of ltd companies. The company Jedna od tri d.o.o. (One of Three LLC) would serve as a management company to carry out vision and to set the infrastructure for the Institute. The Institutes company will be developed towards Network Partnership (instead of PublicPrivate Partnership). The goal for The Institute is to be developed into the largest international consortium on the planet. Strategic goals of the Institute simultaneously represent the benefits for the Institute and for the society at large. Deconstruction of all retrograde historic infrastructures and paradigms of the society which is due to come through deconstruction of retrograde economic structures: division of labor, mass production, competition, value chain and such and by de-emphasizing its impact on social processes.Deconstruction of communication codes and proposal of a new communication paradigm and even new language. Multiplication of human potential and intelligence. Freeing human being of the constraints s of the physical (body). Discovering polidimension(s). Proposed infrastructure of the Institute, surprisingly enough, is capable to generate revenue as well as to produce new value, infrastructures, idioms and, respectively, a new society and Human 2.0.

1.1 Objectives The Institute of Vision & Message is a private research laboratory which will conduct research in nanotechnology, robotics and technology of the social development. Three main locations of the Institute: Facility Incheon City, Korea (to be built), Facility at the Island of Korcula/Blato, which will serve for research in agronomy, economics and genetics; and Virtual institute (to be created), which will serve for research in social development, cognitive modeling, artificial intelligence, and IT neurological research. Proposed business plan and project scope for the next 7 years is a vision of how the market, the high-end technology industries will look like in that time frame and beyond, however, as the market is vibrant and unexpected the Institute will adapt its strategy, projects and all to the market trends. The value of the Institute s infrastructure is flexibility and complexity allowing any kind of change or adaptation to occur without stressing out the system, or even to constantly produce new systems. Furthermore, it is a vision as how society would like in the near future; even more the Institute will vigorously shape the future, and correspond as a bellwether for the future society,which is its main objective. A vision of upcoming society, such an intangible projection of the future could hardly be quantified or measured, yet this business plan manages to put the vision in a relation of expenses, business model and return of investment. The idea for the Institute is to create a superior infrastructure that thrives on progressive economic idea that perceives the Institute as a research facility gathering global brains and creating brain network able to generate products, revenue and profit but able to generate new paradigms and new society. Idea is to set the basic research and development infrastructure; research would then be conducted at the Institute and in collaboration with other global research teams. In its development the Institute would increase the number of scientist and researchers; however, it would still make an effort to preserve the small teams and focus on collaborating with other institutes, SME-s, corporations, and partnering with other research projects. The objective is to transform vision into exploit.

1.2 Mission Manipulating with atoms and nanostructures, creating new communication paradigm, developing human brain interaction interface or intelligent cybernetic entity, represent the tools the Institute will use for achieving its goal: reaching the next stage of human and posthuman evolution. The research at the Technology of the Social Development division of the Institute could represent the biggest breakthrough since its mission is to generate new reality. The division will try to put into perspective development of the production and production technology, to contextualize division of labor, mass production and their impact on social processes, furthermore to provide a vision of the new socio-political system(s), using simulations and virtual simulations, cognitive modeling, theories of networks, systems, quantum physics, AI, etc.; furthermore it will explore the possibility of creating human brain network interface; also using linguistics, mathematics and semiotics it will tray to produce new communication paradigm. Every development research topic, division and project would correspond to the idea of carrying out the next step of human evolution. Historically, and even more, posthistorically, the idea is for the Institute to create noncompetitive placid society, consequently rendering abatement of masproduction, culturing self-sustainable networked communities who all participate in the same realization of the common good and in reaching global SOCIAL OPTIMUM. Inauguration of the intellect and creation as a main value in a society. Abatement of the social contract. Realization of the human as a free individual. Discovering and applying complex systems. Discovering polidimension(s) placing neohuman or posthuman phase on the lowest notch of the development ladder. Following excerpt from the movie Waking Life represent similar vision, or the perception the Institute can relate to. Telescopic Evolution - Waking Life movie, excerpt from the movie, represent the vision the Institute is relating to: "If we're looking at the highlights of human development, you have to look at the evolution of the organism and then at the development of its interaction with the environment. Evolution of the organism will begin with the evolution of life perceived through the hominid coming to the evolution of mankind. Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon man. Now, interestingly, what you're looking at here are three strings: biological, anthropological development of the cities and cultural, which is human expression.
Page 4

Now, what you've seen here is the evolution of populations, not so much the evolution of individuals. And in addition, if you look at the time scales that are involved here two billion years for life, six million years for the hominid, 100,000 years for mankind as we know it you're beginning to see the telescoping nature of the evolutionary paradigm. And then when you get to agricultural, when you get to scientific revolution and industrial revolution, you're looking at 10,000 years, 400 years, 150 years. You're seeing a further telescoping of this evolutionary time. What that means is that as we go through the new evolution, it's gonna telescope to the point we should be able to see it manifest itself within our lifetime, within this generation. The new evolution stems from information, and it stems from two types of information: digital and analog. The digital is artificial intelligence. The analog results from molecular biology, the cloning of the organism. And you knit the two together with neurobiology. Before on the old evolutionary paradigm, one would die and the other would grow and dominate. But under the new paradigm, they would exist as a mutually supportive, noncompetitive grouping. Okay, independent from the external. And what is interesting here is that evolution now becomes an individually centered process, emanating from the needs and desires of the individual, and not an external process, a passive process where the individual is just at the whim of the collective. So, you produce a neo-human, okay, with a new individuality and a new consciousness. But that's only the beginning of the evolutionary cycle because as the next cycle proceeds, the input is now this new intelligence. As intelligence piles on intelligence, as ability piles on ability, the speed changes. Until what? Until we reach a crescendo in a way could be imagined as an enormous instantaneous fulfillment of human, human and neo-human potential. It could be something totally different. It could be the amplification of the individual, the multiplication of individual existences. Parallel existences now with the individual no longer restricted by time and space. And the manifestations of this neo-human-type evolution, manifestations could be dramatically counter-intuitive. That's the interesting part. The old evolution is cold. It's sterile. It's efficient, okay? And its manifestations of those social adaptations. We're talking about parasitism, dominance, morality, okay? Uh, war, predation, these would be subject to de-emphasis. These will be subject to de-evolution. The new evolutionary paradigm will give us the human traits of truth, of loyalty, of justice, of freedom. These will be the manifestations of the new evolution. And that is what we would hope to see from this. That would be nice." "Ostendo primo conditionem hominum extra societatem civilem (quam

conditionem appellare liceat statum naturae) aliam non esse quam bellum omnium contra omnes; atque in eo bello jus esse omnibus in omnia." Hobbes,Thomas; Leviathan or The Matter, Forme and Power of a Common Wealth Ecclesiasticall and Civil, 1651 Social contract comes after so called state of the nature, in which an individuals actions are bound only by his or her personal power; state of the nature is a state of, bellum omnium contra omnes, war of everyone against everyone. Social contract is a technology by which an individual gives up its freedom in order for the society to reach a social order. The phenomenology of the Social Contract should also be perceived in the context of socio-political environment and the ideological infrastructure the authors were part of; way before industrial revolution and even before modern (national) state was born. From that perspective concept of Social Contract was the highest socio-political technology of the social reality. Question of free will and freedom should be perceived in the context of social development, and social contract (Rousseau at large). We could argue, the individual would never claim its freedom nor power, until the social contract is abated. There is definitely a tremendous need for the individual to (re)claim the power. In the history of humankind people were never claiming that fundamental power, rather they were willingly handing it over to the institutions of the social contract. Power was never in a possession of just a few, it is a network of individual powers, as Foucault (1994) claims; however it is being constantly exchanged in this pseudo power-exchange relationship/grid, thus it is impossible to create new idiom or accomplish any significant breakthrough. In the context of realization of a posthuman ideal the question of freedom is no longer a question, because it transcends any conveyable idioms, structures or references. One has to use accepted idioms in order to convey and communicate the idea and the message. However, our language is still rather primitive thus it is easier to convey philosophical message in mathematical formulas/language/ syntax. We should use hapax or an idiosyncratic system or an idea that does not recognize its definition or identity; the entity emptied of its references in order to create new society, which would in the next phase abate itself to render non-society, or a network of individuals. Therefore for the significant development to be accomplished we need to create more complex language and syntax. Marx (1859) claims social production is conditioned by the development of
Page 6

material forces of production, independent of individual will. However, in the new era relations of production diverge, in eccentric fashion (Baudrillard, 1981), from the given superstructures, opening a possibility for a new society to emerge and overwrite historical production relations. Furthermore, future social production could rely on realization of the free will of the individual since it stems from the complex systems that transcend Marxs (1859) idea that new superior relations of production never replace older ones before the material conditions for their existence have matured within the framework of the old society. In such a social production (or rather emanation) we could break out from the class struggle as the only socio-political tool for a social developmet. The main concern in the first phase of the research in the technology of social development will be revisiting key elements of the Marxs Historical Materialism; capital, landed property, wage-labour; the State, foreign trade, world market. The project that would have its priority would be the ones that are most likely to create ruptures in the social contract and ones that are using technology for human and post human social and individual advancement, and which are at the same time aimed at bypassing the idea of humankind becoming slaves to technology; namely: 1.Mathematical theorem proving networked partnership(s) and/or similar socio-economic infrastructure (which mean infrastructure based on mutually supportive and noncompetitive system) is tremendously more viable than retrograde economic infrastructure based on competition and like phenomena. 2.Mathematical theorem proving the possibility of creating a society outside the social contract, transcending historical materialism via complex systems. 3.Creating interface for brain-to-brain communication.

1.3 Keys to Success If we ought to define economical infrastructure of the system(s) we define it as a new open business model thriving on the complexity of the system behind. The supremacy of the proposed system doesnt mean merely breaking the barriers between sectors: SME-s, academia, corporate, NGO, civil society etc. because it would be a negative definition, it has to be in linking all social producing powers in complex yet flexible infrastructure/ system, hitherto an element of even complex system, or a cluster of systems; congregating infrastructures, ideas, investments and social and economy sectors. Economic Vision The idea of Networked Partnerships presuppose all social producing powers linked in a dynamic Modular Producing Units that at any given moment could be instantly restructured. In the second phase the system will be intelligent enough to make an adjustment organically by itself. Business model for the Institute is set to assure not only swift and constant revenue flow, but to assure self-sustainability of the Institute. The legal infrastructure is viable as long as it provides flexible, sustainable and non-cumbersome system that both could provide economic feasibility for the contemporary market and sustainability and responsibility for the future one. Furthermore, the goal of the Institute is to create progress, new economies, new systems and new value in a society at large. Basic infrastructure: Network, Complex, Fluid, Organic Economic infrastructure: Networked partnership(s), international consortium, weak links in a constant shift able to produce system that would assure constant flow of revenue and investments, ideas, growth and development, making the Institute self-sustainable. The Institutes framework presupposes research on social development would influence the given infrastructure of the Institute in its development.

2.0 Company Summary The Institute will propose its own infrastructure and the system. System is a cloud (in the sense of computer cluster) of investments, projects, brains, researches, products etc., and it is without designated instance, course or direction. It is a like a cloud or a cluster of dandelions (blowhead) propellers. The process of movement and connecting is random. The question is where does the system emanates from; and what is its impeller? Could the system be selfemanating, or could the random energy be the perpetuum mobile? Another idea perceives infrastructure and the system as a double vortex, a self-generating, hyperconnected dynamic entity which constantly produces new reality.

2.1 Company Ownership A legal framework of the Program is a company with the shared capital, or a cluster of ltd companies or a stock company. The company Jedna od tri d.o.o. (One of Three ltd) would serve as a management company to carry out vision and to set the infrastructure for the Institute. The Institute' s company will be developed towards Network Partnership (instead of Public-Private Partnership). The goal for The Institute is to be developed into the largest international consortium on the planet. The idea is for the Institute to share ideas, researches, data etc. with the companies in the industry who are willing to share the same. In the second phase the data and research would be shared with everyone and all. Rationale behind that idea is that competition is not viable game in the industry any more. Partnership and mutually supportive entities are what could produce greater value. Project documentation that wold follow this business plan will go into details of the proposed legal framework, economic system and any other system, which is a base for the development of the Institute.

Division of Technology of Social Development Research scope: The research will go in a direction of interconnecting language, communication and noise; coding, postcommunication and artificial intelligence in order to explore and produce paradigm shift in communication, new communication paradigm or any complex social interaction system that would replace any known communication codes and produce idiosyncratic communication environment that would leave far behind any retrograde social, political or historic infrastructure. Using mathematical codes, or perceiving mathematics as a most advanced language and combining it with ancient languages, e.g. Sumerian language, as a language that communicates with subliminal codes, we could produce not only new superior highly complex and multifaceted language (communication tool) but the whole new society, beyond recognition or even without connection to the previous level of evolutionary development. The research would try to abolish a paradigm of the media as an extension of the human body and the human as a pendent of a machine and inaugurate natural interconnectedness of technology and a human, on physical, mental and even spiritual level. This idea presupposes language is the most important inheritance of the civilization thus any development or/and creation of the more complex language and its codes could bring to the reinvention of the civilization as such. Framework: the society is perceived as a. an organism, b. linguistic causality. If we perceive language and its syntax, or even mathematical codes as a free entities we could be able to discover new paradigm. Not the coding or decoding but creating new language paradigm could produce change or the new society without any struggle or class struggle, which would happened not

so much as a change but as a complete transformation. Division of Technology of Social Development has an important role to assure social responsibility of the Nanotechnology or Robotics division. Furthermore, since most of the researches are interdisciplinary they will share ideas, designs and expertise. For example nanorobotics research could use a system architect or a VR designer from a Division of Technology of Social Development. Project MindBanking.com is a global business networking portal, offering services which empower users to fully develop manage and build their projects. The idea is to put together innovators, Private Equity / Venture Capital (or any other investors) and collaborators in one place in order to create new vibrant business scene, which would be able to generate new economies. Project MindBanking.com has its finances and investments planned. However further development of the MindBanking.com project would be financed by the Institute. The projects and development are as follows: Virtual Institute The idea is to create application which would gather scientists, brains, thinkers, scholars and such in one place to create an environment of idea sharing, collaborating, and brainstorming. The Virtual Institute will in the beginning use the application and infrastructure of MindBanking.com, use and build infrastructure and community on existing virtual world e.g. Entropia Universe and/or become partner of Entropia Universe, further developing solutions and worlds in a collaboration. The goal is to create a kind of social parallel universe that will produce new society; to explore the possibility and the ways in which the creation of new communication paradigm is possible; to create such an elaborate and complex society, a parallel universe with a profound influence to the real world, (e.g. to influence a monetary infrastructure or generate socio-political changes). The infrastructure: Researchers from the Institute will collaborate in a highly advanced environment with their colleagues from around the globe, developing researches, projects and products; teams from the Institute working on a research in collaboration with general audience/users, through the method of "brainharvesting". Visualization or a graphic representation of the virtual world doesnt have to be as expected virtual world, represented through 3D humanoid graphic characters and the rest, the main point is to create self-producing information parallel universe, a platform which is complex and at the same time (hyper) interactive in order to stimulate users to produce their own idioms, connections and infrastructures.

The strategy presupposes avoiding spending vast amount of time and money on cumbersome 3D infrastructure, creating the world that offers nothing new, and imports real life infrastructure. The Schuman Resonance proves planet Earth emits 7.83 Hz resonance between the surface of the Earth and the conductive ionosphere, called the Earth brain waves. Douglas Rushkoff proposes that the consciousness of the Earth might be awakened when all humans become collectively networked. The Earth can become neural network. The research will show the level of possibility in a given epoch and given evolutional context whether this could be done by merely taping into unconsciousness and converting it to consciousness without creating an interface or a physical network. Information is worth nothing if it isnt shared. Its intrinsic value is its fundamental urge to identify itself through the collective. The problem is that the social usage and manipulation of information conforms particular information to designated social groups, which inhibits social and postsocial development. Requirements: to create innovative technical, engine and virtual environment solution that would give optimized state-of-the-art application, optimized graphics control (graphic that uses optimized space and could be enough detailed), optimized server distribution, it could receive critical mass of users without an overload, creating advanced network redistribution of content. A: Highly optimized virtual application and world. Revenue model: subscriptions, pay per piece, selling virtual spaces, selling virtual construction sites, advertising B: Number of solutions, a consequent product which is ready-to-use applications/solutions or modules for building virtual worlds making the virtual world an infrastructure that could be assembled from a readymade modules; making any transfer of data, its usage and manipulation possible. The idea is to offer solutions for building infrastructure in order for the research and development pace to speed up. The key word is Optimum and optimization. The goal is to find optimal network distribution of content, developing further the Cloud system as well; to create optimal graphics control system that would enable fast graphics processing and usability with no demands too high.

the new system builds the plant/scion in its superior new form. Is it possible to create superior plant/scion by isolating only top quality properties form 80 indigenous wine sorts? Such a plant/scion would respectively be resistant to all external influences, and furthermore would produce crop in shorter time intervals. Product: superior plant/scion Business model: patents, applications go-to-market period: 3-5 years A success will assure the creation of the new product, furthermore the creation of new markets, as well as the new paradigms from the socioeconomic aspect. The product in such a project is a research per se, and the new markets that would create such idiosyncratic product and business model will promise not only return of investment but the creation of new system through creating an original value chain. The research conducted at the genetic Institute will have an objective to accomplish the paradigm shift in real infrastructure of the value chain the same why as should be able to accomplish new socio-economic idioms and infrastructures.

3.2 Competitive Comparison To accomplish the strategic goals of the Institute it will be needed none than sheer brilliance. Document that will follow this business plan will further analyze and develop the idea, vision and infrastructure of the Institute, as well as the projects and technology of their execution. Since the industry and the scene of nanotechnology and high-end technologies are relatively new and unstructured there is definitely plenty of room for partnerships and networking to take place. Competing and competition in a market that isnt a market yet, or where the ground rules are not established yet, along with the fact that the benchmark is extremely high, we could perceive a strong need for alliances, collaboration and networking of any sort. Furthermore, the ideology of the Institute perceives competition as a retrograde economic idiom which could only abate any development and expansion, not foster it.

The idea of network partnership would definitely impact on patents realm. Projection is that the extensive partnering would generate proliferation of patents, or their massive increase. The companies included in the research network would have reciprocal share in the patent as to the amount of invested value in the research project. The argument is also that the engagement of many different teams in a network production is a superior infrastructure compared to massive teams in a corporate structure, since every team in the network partnership is bringing its own dynamics to the network, making it more flexible and sustainable. In the literature, which will follow this business plan, the proposed idea will be tested via theory of networks and dynamics of networks. To be exact it will be calculated. We could use the theory of random graph (Rapoport and Solomonoff, 1951); as the ratio of number of edges to vertices in the graph is increased, the network reaches a point at which it undergoes an abrupt change from a collection of disconnected vertices to a connected state in which, in modern parlance, the graph contains a giant component (Barabasi, Newman, Watts; 2006, pg. 11) (Source: Barabasi, Newman & Watts; Structures and Dynamics of Networks; Princeton University Press, 2006, pg 11)

5.0 Target Market Segment Strategy Target market segmentation could seem a bit broad; however research and development companies, the institutes or similar institutions could only have to distribute their products and services to governments (and supranational bodies) and the industry. Consumer market segment is rather important as well since it is expected to provide the fastest ROI and would assure self-sustainability of the Institute, respectively. Furthermore, it also anticipates growing high-end technology consumer market.

5.1 Market Needs The institute s goal is to constantly create new values, idioms and perspectives, and that could only mean constant creation of new needs. If we take into account cutting-edge research, products or infrastructure, the Institute will not only constantly generate new needs but new exhilarating markets as well.

5.2 Market Trends Dominance in government funding The trend in the industry is that the global investment into nanotechnology is mainly governmental. The VC funding only accounted for 7% of the total global investment into nanotechnology in 2008.Since projections and analysis show serious expansion of the nanotechnology market and its growth, in the next couple of years, it could be the cue for PE/VC to reconsider nanotechnology industry and scene as an important investment opportunity. Investors should bring with them industry knowledge and their network, along with financial investments, to help companies develop and market products in an efficient fashion.(Source:http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/ research-and-markets-global-nanotechnology,1088640.shtml, 2010) Increasing growth of the industry and international partnerships with start-ups The idea of partnerships is already in deployment, the data is from 2002: 1. Nanocor and Mitsubishi Gas Chemical joint partnership in developing nanoclays for nanocomposits 2. Nanosys and Matsushita Electric joint developing in solar cells technology 3. Applied Nanotech and Mitsubishi Heavy Industriesjoint partnership in developing carbon nanotubes for Flat Panel Displays (Source: Asia Pacific Nanotech Weekly, Vol. 1, article #25, 2003) Treating patent applications for nanotechnology Experts have observed that there is a growing trend to file for patents earlier, and file more of them. That could potentially hamper innovation by acting as a disincentive for other institutions to embark on similar research. Although this is a general trend in patenting, nanotechnology-related inventions could be especially affected since it is a young and growing field. To avoid an inflation of low-quality patent applications that could clog up the EPO and create a backlog, the EPO has introduced a quality policy to bring certainty to the market, for both the applicant and the public. The EPOs approach is one of "quality rather than quantity." The Y01N tags are one element in this approach, since they enable EPO examiners to monitor emerging nanotechnology inventions and to perform better patentability searches. The EPO has also put measures in place to
Page 29

The Institute of Vision and Message


ensure that nanotechnology applications are treated by examiners with the right experience in the specific field. Outlook When it comes to nanotechnology patenting, the United States continues to lead the way, followed by Japan and Europe. Some regional differences in nano application trends have already been noted: while nanobiotechnology dominates the European sphere, in Japan the bulk of patents published are in nanoelectronics. The EPO works with the Japan Patent Office and the United States Patent and Trademark Office to look at shared problems and how each country addresses them. Collaborating on the nanotechnology issue could help all three offices tackle common problems that have arisen with the emergence of this exciting new technology. (Source: http://www.epo.org/topics/issues/nanotechnology.html, 2010) NANOTECHNOLOGY PATENT TRENDS Patents issuing every week demonstrate the growing importance of nanotechnology. In many cases, technology which was first conceived in the 1970s and early 1980s, often as academic curiosities, have now become a major area of commercial development under the nanotechnology rubric. Several examples are noted below reflecting different areas of nanotechnology. The atomic force microscope (AFM) is a powerful, fundamental nanotechnology tool and was first patented in 1988 by Bennig and IBM. By 1994, over 100 patents issued per year, and by 2003, over 500 patents were issuing per year referring to this tool (Figure 1). Quantum dots and dendrimers, similarly, are examples of nanomaterials first patented in the mid-1980s. By 1994, over ten patents issued per year, and by 2003, over 100 patents were issuing per year referring to each of these materials (Figures 2 and 3).

(Source: V. Koppikar, S.B. Maebius, J.S. Rutt; Current Tends in Nanotech Patents: A View From Inside the Patent Office; Nanotechnology Law & Business; Volume 1, Issue 1, Article 4, 2003) Rich in intellectual property Experts across Europe are in no doubt: Today's economy is becoming increasingly knowledge-based and intellectual property in the form of patents plays a vital role in this growth. Between 1992 and 2002, the number of patent applications filed in Europe, Japan and the United States grew by more than 40 percent. The number of patents filed with the European Patent Office reflects that trend, going from approximately 100,000 applications in 1997 to nearly 193,000 in 2005. This is due, in part, to individual inventors, SMEs, large companies and research institutions realising the importance and economic impact of patenting their innovations. The key observation here: Patents can encourage innovation and economic growth under certain conditions and hamper it under others. The impact of patents on innovation and economic performance is so complex that a fine-tuned patent system is crucial to ensure maximum benefit for a country's firms and its overall economy.

5.3 Market Growth Projection is that the market for nanotechnology products is yet to flourish in a couple of years. Projection is for Global Market for Products Incorporating Nanotechnology will grow in 2013 to 1.6 trillion US dollars, representing a CAGR of more than 49% in the forecast period 2009-2013. According to our report findings, at the regional level, the Asia-Pacific region will experience the fastest growth in market for nanotechnology enabled goods, with CAGR pegged at around 52% in the forecast period, followed by Europe. (Source: RNCOS, 2010) The nanotechnology market is dominated by the US, followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific region. However, initiatives undertaken by EU as part of its Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) will help the region emerge as a dominant player on the global nanotechnology map by 2013. The EU FP7 will be contributing approximately 600 Million per year until 2013 towards nanotechnology. Also, the presence of Japan, South Korea, China and India will foster highest growth in the Asia-Pacific region over the forecast period. (Source: http://nanobizexchange.com/?p=18) "Nanotechnology is going to pave the way for a revolution in materials, information and communication technology, medicine, genetics and so on as it starts leaving the laboratories and conquering new markets.

Considering the future prospects of nanotechnology, countries across the world are investing heavily into this sector.

Key Findings The rapidly commercializing nanotechnology market presents potential market in various industrial sectors including energy, textiles and life sciences. The market for nanotechnology in manufacturing goods is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 33% during the period from 2007 to 2015. The market for nanotechnology into consumer products is projected to
Page 33

The Institute of Vision and Message


grow at an AAGR of 9.4% from 2005 to 2010. The global spending on nanotechnology grew by 29% in 2006 with government share standing at 52% followed by corporate and venture capitalist spending. Nanotechnology investments by the government were initially led by Europe, North America and Japan. However, countries such as Russia, China, Brazil, Turkey and India have joined the trend and are making significant investments into the sector. Asia-Pacific is anticipated to be the most important region for the sales of nanotechnology products in near future, followed by the US and Europe at similar level. Nanotechnology Market Forecast till 2011, RNCOS, 2009

The nanophotonic component market is growing at a robust rate for the last few years and is expected to maintain a very high CAGR for the next few years. The market is expected to reach US$3.6 billion in 2014 at a CAGR of 100.7% from 2009 to 2014. Untapped market potential and benefits are the primary factors for the early adoption. Though most of the nanophotonic products are still under research, the available products such as nanophotonic LEDs, nanophotonic PV cells, nanophotonic OLEDs have been very successful in the market. Nanophotonic LEDs has the largest market share of US$106 million in 2009. However, considering the pace of progress in various other segments like near-field-optics, optical amplifiers, optical switches and holographic memory, it can be safely ascertained that holographic memory and optical switches are expected to have the highest growth rate in the next five years. Nanophotonic LEDs will still continue to be largest segment albeit with a slow growth rate. (Source: http://www.marketsandmarkets.com, 2010) Nanotechnology in European patents Nanotechnology is considered by many to be one of the key technologies of this century, with an expected market volume of EUR 1 trillion in 2015. In 2004, about EUR 8 billion was invested in nanotechnology research and development worldwide. The European Commission, realising the future importance of this new field, funds nanotechnology projects with roughly EUR 500 million a year, an amount that is likely to double over the next decade or two, according to an EC source.

(Source: http://www.epo.org/topics/issues/nanotechnology.html, 2010) Korea Puts $750M in Robotics, Aims to Lead Market by 2018 04.20.2009 The government of South Korea has promised to invest 1 trillion Won (about $750 million U.S. dollars) in the countrys robotics industry in an attempt to accelerate its growth. The goal is to help the global robotics market grow to more than $30 billion by 2013 and to help Korean companies take as much as 10 percent of that market, according to Huh Kyung, Director General for Emerging Industry in the governments Ministry of Knowledge Economy, which is responsible for regulating and overseeing high-tech industries in South Korea. The First Basic Plan for Intelligent Robots calls for Korea to be one of the top three producers of robotic products by 2013 and the leading producer by 2018. That would total more than $1 billion U.S. for export and $3 billion for internal consumption. The Republic of Korea has treated its IT infrastructure and industries as key drivers of economic growth since the mid-1990s, and committed itself to promoting the service robotics industry in 2004, according to Dan Kara, president and editor of Robotics Business Review. At that time the Korean economic ministry put in place a strategy called IT839, whose goal was to build a robust internal IT networking infrastructure, and promote specific high-tech industries, including service robotics. It invested $264 million over five years in 16 projects designed to boost the domestic intelligent robotics industry, Kara said. The effort, and Koreas robotics manufacturers, have been remarkably successful, according to Kara. Im not surprised the [Korean] government sees robotics as a driver for the economy, agreed Barbara Coffey, analyst at financial services firm Kaufman Brothers. The South Korean market has been a huge winner in cell phones and other electronics. Theyve been a leader in digital broadcasts and in uses for small devices, so theyre probably in a good position for robotics as well, as far as manufacturing and research [capabilities]. Speaking at last weeks RoboBusiness conference in Boston, Rus predicted that the market for service robots alone would grow from about $600 million in 2002 to more than $52 billion by 2025, largely driven by the

Second Life Economy Hits New All-Time High in Q1 2010 Highlights for the Quarter The Second Life economy kicked off 2010 with strength in many key indicators in Q1. User-to-User Transactions totaled US$160 million, a 30% increase year-to-year and an all-time high Total Sales on Xstreet reached US$2.3 million, an 82% increase yearto-year and a 24% increase over the previous quarter Total L$ exchanged on the LindeX totaled US$31 million, a 9% increase year-to-year Residents active in the Economy reached 517,349 in March, a 2010 high Monthly Unique Users with Repeat Logins peaked in March at 826,214, a 13% increase year-to-year and an all-time high Second Life continues to be the largest user-generated virtual economy in the world, and as we reported in our 2009 year-end economy blog post, reached US$567 million in user-to-user transactions in 2009, with gross resident earnings of US$55 million. The scale and continued growth of Second Life are a highlight in a quarter which saw the closure of a few longstanding companies in the virtual world space. We wish the customers and employees of those companies well.

2009 End of Year Second Life Economy Wrap up (including Q4 Economy in Detail) Second Life economy totals $567 million US dollars in 2009 - 65% growth over 2008

Gross Resident Earnings are $55 million US Dollars in 2009 - 11% growth over 2008 In 2009, the rest of the world caught up with what Second Life

Residents have known for a long time - that virtual goods can be a very good business. Headlines about a billion-dollar plus trade in virtual items appeared in the mainstream press, but in many cases the articles focused on the platforms that create and provide virtual goods to their users, not on the users themselves.

And this is what sets Second Life apart: our users create, merchandise, and sell virtual goods as part of the largest user-generated 3D virtual goods economy in the world. By any measure - number of items, transactions, dollar value, revenues earned - Second Life is the leader. In 2009, Second Life Residents earned more than twice that amount US$55 million - while the total size of the Second Life economy grew 65% to US$567 million.

And all of that is due to the creativity and innovation of the Second Life Residents.

By way of comparison, real-world global output is forecast to have declined 1.1% in 2009 (see the IMF World Economic Outlook report, October 2009). The Bureau of Economic Analysis will post figures for the US economy for Q4 and 2009 on January 29th, but their most recent forecast was for the US economy to have shrunk by 2.7% in 2009. Despite a challenging macro environment, the Second Life economy did quite well to grow in 2009. Before we dive into the numbers for 2009, we want to acknowledge that last year was an economically challenging one for many people in the real world and many Second Life Residents. Some Second Life Resident businesses faced hard times while others flourished. Our focus is to work hard in 2010 (and beyond) to increase the number of Second Life Residents, so that the Second Life economy will continue to grow, giving all Residents the opportunity to benefit.

6.2 Distributing a Service

Distribution is definitely global whether regarding virtual product and services or material product of services, since the infrastructure and the research represent a global brain network. The Institute is also hoping to invent new distribution patterns, or systems which would have an impact on how the goods are sold and consumed as well.

6.3 Competition and Buying Patterns

Since infrastructure, system, communications and position in the industry would be idiosyncratic, there is no need for worrying about getting attention, or creating a brand or marketing and advertising the product or self. In such a environment the attention would naturally flow towards the bearer of such a idiosyncratic idiom.

6.4 Main Competitors

The Institute does not believe in a competition.

7.0 Web Plan Summary Network Interaction Tools The content from the institute would be streaming live from any location the research is happening. Anything happening at the institute s sites is a potential content, from constructions and reconstructions, to brainstorming and experiments. It would be streamed to two media platforms, satellite channel (brand name: ScienceFeed TV) and on the internet (brand name: MindGroup.com). Internet platform will provide a possibility for interaction with users thus creating a community that would be able to participate in a research, respectively. The same platform is ideologically and architecturally connected to the Virtual Institute, the discussions and research would interact back and forth between the two. A: For the broadcasting satellite streaming it will be developed an application that would enable interaction with the user, application will be optimized for any satellite receiver, settop box and such. Revenue models: product sale, licensing, brokerage (Short-term products, go to market in 6 months to 2 years) B: internet stream community (Short-term products, go to market in 6 months to 2 years)

7.1 Website Marketing Strategy The institute will invent its own new cutting-edge channels and formats for distributing ideas. The traditional methods that will be used for grabbing the attention will be viral and guerilla marketing and social media. The methods will definitely be upgraded and brought to a new level.

7.2 Development Requirements The internet infrastructure will be built and developed upon mindbanking.com and brainharvest.biz projects and their infrastructure. Basic requirements: small team of developers and idea-generators that would constantly develop and produce new solutions, communities, communication paradigms and such. The main requirement is for each new solution, idea, change or such to be ground-braking and to set new standards. Cosmetic changes or solutions that do not offer new perspectives or idioms are definitely not acceptable for the standards and requirements of the Institute. Furthermore, requirement also important; any solution, application or produced item, has to be a brilliant new solution that could bring closer to optimization of ICT infrastructures.

The mention could be accomplished through engaging communities in selforganized production (research projects: mindbanking.com, brainharvest.biz, robotics research in relieving society from servile and detrimental labor) b.Deconstruction of communication codes by researching language syntax, construction and deconstruction of the language codes, investigating math codes and its relation and interaction to human and post human consciences; combining mathematics, semiotics, linguistics and other related and non related science methods in order to produce new language (subliminal?) and new communication paradigm. c.Multiplication of human potential and intelligence (research projects: virtual institute, brainharvest, interface for a human brain-to-brain communication) d.Freeing human being of the constraints of a physical (body) research in nanogenetics, nanorobotics, etc. e.Polidimension(s) research in time and space continuum

Strategy corresponds to the double vortex infrastructure (instead of the pyramid).

8.3 Value Proposition Strategic goals of the Institute simultaneously represent the benefits for the Institute and for the society at large. Deconstruction of all retrograde historic infrastructures and paradigms of the society which is due to come through deconstruction of retrograde economic structures: division of labor, mass production, competition, value chain and such and by de-emphasizing its impact on social processes.Deconstruction of communication codes and proposal of a new communication paradigm and even new language. Multiplication of human potential and intelligence. Freeing human being of the constraints s of the physical (body). Discovering polidimension(s). Proposed infrastructure of the Institute, surprisingly enough, is capable to generate revenue as well as to produce new value, infrastructures, idioms and, respectively, a new society.

8.4 Competitive Edge

State-of-the-art system that runs behind the infrastructure. Constant development of the basic system. Global network of brains, which is constantly expanding. Virtually no competition in the region. Focused on achieving Human 2.0 and Neohuman Society.

8.5 Marketing Strategy

Marketing strategy accomplishes under a motto "forget everything you know (about market)". The background of proposed marketing strategy is theory; Social Contract (Hobbes,Thomas; Leviathan or The Matter, Forme and Power of a Common Wealth Ecclesiasticall and Civil, 1651; ) Social Contract (Rousseau, Jean Jaques; The Social Contract; 1762) Historical Materialism (Marx, Karl ; A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy, 1859) Foucault, Michel; Power, Essential Works of Foucault 1954 - 1984, volume 3; Editions Gallimard; 1994 Systems theory (von Foerster, 1960) Chaos theory (Gleick, 1991) Network Theory (Buchanan, 2003; Newman, Barabasi, Watts, 2006) Media extension of human body (McLuhan, 1964) Network vs. Hierarchical infrastructure (Galloway, 2002; PricewaterhouseCoopers, 2002) Hyperreality (Baudrillard, 1981) The Mirror of Production (Baudrillard, 1975) The Attention Economy (Davenport & Beck, 2001; Goldhaber, 1997; Barbrook, 1997; Berman & McClellan, 2001; Ghosh, 1997) Mass vs. Individual media (Kompare, 2002) Convergence (Forman & Saint John, 2000) Autopoiesis (Maturana & Varela, 1987) Knowledge Economy (Leadbeater, 2000) Gift Economy (Barbrook, 1997) Self-management (Petras & Veltmeyer, 2002)

8.5.1 Positioning Statement There is definitely a necessity for an institute of such research scope and magnitude, since there is the global need for a development boost, quantum leap even. Hope it is not too pompous to say that society at large is hungry of vision such the Institute could provide for.

8.5.2 Pricing Strategy

No elaborate pricing strategy. How do you put a price tag on development and evolution, apart that we could say it is valuable, invigorating and rewarding production.

8.5.3 Promotion Strategy

Promotion will be based on original and new attention solutions, all retrograde marketing and advertising solutions and practices will be avoided as much as possible. Social media is somewhat acceptable communication solution, although it is already an old concept and practice.

8.5.4 Distribution Strategy

8.5.5 Marketing Programs

The economic logic behind the proposed system starts with Baudrillards critique of Marx, accepting the notion that Marx was too rooted in assumptions of political economy to provide a framework for radical action (Baudrillard, 1975). Conceivably the quandary is the theory is rooted, and not that is rooted in political economy. Using unstable theory of complex infrastructure (almost organic one) we could possibly be empowered for radical action, through radical theory, if the radical is to be of any merit to the same theory. He proposes radical thought: labor power doesnt need to be labor power (Baudrillard, 1975). Expanding the idea, if the labor power becomes creative power, or an intellectual power and abate labor power, it would diminish assumptions of historic materialism thus making exchange of power that abolishes rooted codependence between modes of production and means of production, also between labor and ownership. Marketing programs emanate from the idea of revisiting and restructuring basic market logic and dynamics. The idea of Networked Partnerships: all social producing powers linked in a dynamic Modular Producing Units that at any given moment could be instantly restructured, creating the system intelligent enough to make an adjustment organically by itself, is just a beginning of rethinking the market structure. If we perceive the market as a live(!) entity any paradigm shift is possible; even more so if we perceive it as a contingency, market being fundamentally contingent or ad hoc. It could open a vast number of properties which could rise the quality of the market, giving the market a possibility to adapt swiftly to any influence, change or an impact. Mentioned presupposes abatement of value-chain (perhaps a value network is a new idiom) or any other rigid market structure.

8.6 Sales Strategy Business model The idea is for the Institute to build a basic infrastructure to enable research according to research scope(s) and strategic goals. Further development requires collaboration with research teams and individuals around the globe. Sharing research will enable optimal infrastructure to be established and developed. Furthermore, it will enable swifter advancement in research and development. The idea is to create a system that is not cumbersome and not too costly, a system which is flexible and could restructure at any time without stressing the infrastructure drastically. Furthermore, project documentation which is to be developed will further develop infrastructure and economic logic upon the Institute will grow, and would have a task to prepare original business infrastructure for the start-up. One of the ideas is for the Institute to be an agency for brains, ideas and development.

Research Main activity of the Institute and will be conducted at the startup in 3 different divisions: Division of Nanotechnology, Division of Robotics and Division of Technology of Social Development. Researches are set in three different time frames: short-term, medium term and long-term research extent in order to assure constant intellectual production and go-to-market action. Production Production will be organized in the partnership with the partners from the industries. Services sales Service sales will distribute products/services mainly from the Division of Technology of Social Development in order to have constant revenue assured. Revenue will be achieved via subscriptions, pay per piece, selling virtual spaces, selling virtual construction sites, advertising etc. Consulting Consulting will be done by our experts in the areas the Institute can provide for. Consulting service is also planned in order to have constant revenue assured. Revenue models Service sales

8.6.1 Sales Forecast

Projection is that research from the Division of Technology of the Social Development would generate fastest ROI since it is a research that starts immediately or it already commenced; furthermore it is a short-term research with go-to-market action in 2 years, and it represents consumer based distribution (content sales, service sales, product and virtual product sales, etc.). Research is further divided to medium-term research with go to market in 3-5 years, and long-term research with a time frame of goto-market action of 5-7 years. Furthermore, we expect at least two more investment rounds apart from start-up funding, in the following 2-4 years around 1 billion Euro.

8.8 Milestones

The rationale behind the milestones is that the work and research starts immediately. One task is not waiting for the other task to finish unless it is physically impossible to do so; everything is happening simultaneously. The researches would not be putt of until the facilities are built or adapted; it would start at partners' companies/facilities/venues, will be developed in virtual spaces and spheres, will use established internet venues, or even use ad hoc methodology. To exemplify; research in any proposed topic in nanotechnology could start as a discussion at any internet venue. The idea is that the Institute is an entity that already exists, which develops and evolves all the time, and is not tied down to any physical location. The Institute IS! at this very moment, and became at the moment the idea was born. It is already a neural infrastructure, system and network.

9.0 Management Summary

The management of the Institute so far lies on one person, Ana Soric, a bearer of the idea and the vision, the leader and the one who fiercely struggles for the idea and the program to become real. The others will follow. The idea of leadership in this context does not mean rigidity and ruling, it is more of an avantgarde, or someone who can see further. The job already done in three years include: development of the idea and project documentation, lobbying towards governmental institutions, corporations, SME, investors, strategic partners, universities, on the internet; campaigns (Urban Survival Kit); development of the projects (Cybernetic Vehicle, the Androids: www.sail.hr/media; Mindbanking.com), etc.

9.1 Organizational Structure

The organization of the Institute' s management would be the same as the infrastructure, network-like, fluid, organic, modular, and of course optimal.
