Entrepreneurship of the 21st century makes THE difference
There is a common misunderstanding that entrepreneurship is limited to business. The word applies as much to business as it does to government or even ourselves in our daily lives. In this video message of 25 minutes, our founder, Jean-Paul Close, explains how the term and its practicalities evolve into a new mindset and related human, natural and economic ecosystem.
Inspiration 6: Sustainocratic tables
#Sustainocracy, our new #democracy, introduced a totally new way of thinking and handling. It is a real time democracy based on our core human values. We do that with the Sustainocratic table. No banks, no politics are involved, just our regional core human values and shared responsibility.
The table is managed by an independent #Sustainocrat. He or she invites all relevant parties to the table and makes sure that the human natural core values lead the result and project driven dialogue. I have been practicing this role for 10 years now. It was not easy to get everyone to the table but I managed to get it going after much trial and error….
The table symbolizes our regional society, our #community. The table has four supportive legs, each representing a key participant of our society today:
* #citizens – our behavior and culture
* #government – common infrastructures and use of our public funds
* #entrepreneurs – innovative solutions
* #science and #eduction – our applied learning process
On top of the table are our core natural human values as shared #responsability. The sustainocrat at the table connects all four leg’s representatives based on #equality around the table. Each have equal part in the values driven process. Nobody is “the boss”, also not the Sustainocrat. They come together to safeguard the common core values through proactive, results driven innovative projects.
Current existing examples of such tables, with me as connecting Sustainocrat:
#AiREAS: air quality, health and mobility
#School of Talent and Wellness: participatory learning
#FRE2SH: regional food security
#COS3i: social inclusion and citizens participation in our core human values

Robot love
In Eindhoven, between september 15th 2018 and december 2nd, we expect up to 50.000 visitors to the exposition and open debat about robots in our human lives.
STIR Foundation (City of Tomorrow) has partnered with the Robot Love organisation with a variety of objectives:
- Contribute to the discussion from the Sustainocratic perspective of core natural and human values as well as the human complexity model,
- Use the impact of such a big event in the regional development plans of the local population,
- Assist with the food supply and catering through our FRE2SH city food production and partnership organization,
- Develop together the social inclusion and innovation potential of the event for people in process of re-integration, migration, expats and other COS3I target groups,
- Offer open podium to our School of Talents and international partners for participative learning activities and the organization of events of our own within the context of this platform
