1.0 Executive Summary
The Institute of Vision & Message is a private research laboratory which will conductresearch in nanotechnology, robotics and technology of the social development. Threemain locations of the Institute: Facility Incheon City, Korea (to be built), Facility at theIsland of Korcula/Blato, which will serve for research in agronomy, economics andgenetics; and Virtual institute (to be created), which will serve for research in socialdevelopment, cognitive modeling, artificial intelligence, and IT neurological research.
Proposed business plan and project scope for the next 7 years is a vision of how themarket, the high-end technology industries and the society will look like in that timeframe and beyond, however, as the market is vibrant and unexpected the Institute willadapt its strategy, projects and all to the market trends. A vision of upcoming society, suchan intangible projection of the future could hardly be quantified or measured, yet thisbusiness plan manages to put the vision in a relation of expenses, business model andreturn of investments.
Historically, and even more, posthistorically, the idea is for the Institute to createnoncompetitive placid society, consequently rendering abatement of masproduction,culturing self-sustainable networked communities who all participate in the same realizationof the common good and in reaching global SOCIAL OPTIMUM. Inauguration of theintellect 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 notchof the development ladder.
Manipulating with atoms and nanostructures, creating new communication paradigm,developing human interaction interface or intelligent cybernetic entity, represent the toolsthe Institute will use for achieving its goal: reaching the next stage of human andposthumanevolution.
If we ought to define business infrastructure of the system(s) we define it as a new openbusiness model thriving on the complexity of the system behind. The supremacy of theproposed system doesn’t mean merely breaking the barriers between sectors: SME-s,academia, corporate, NGO, civil society etc. because it would be a negative definition, it hasto 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; congregatinginfrastructures, ideas, investments and economy sectors.
The legal infrastructure is viable as long as it provides flexible, sustainable and non-cumbersome system that both could provide economic feasibility for the contemporarymarket and sustainability and responsibility for the future one. Furthermore, the goal of theInstitute 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 ltdcompanies. The company Jedna od tri d.o.o. (One of Three LLC) would serve as amanagement company to carry out vision and to set the infrastructure for the Institute. TheInstitute’s company will be developed towards Network Partnership (instead of Public-Private Partnership). The goal for The Institute is to be developed into the largestinternational consortium on the planet.
Strategic goals of the Institute simultaneously represent the benefits for the Institute andfor the society at large. Deconstruction of all retrograde historic infrastructures andparadigms of the society which is due to come through deconstruction of retrogradeeconomic structures: division of labor, mass production, competition, value chain andsuch and by de-emphasizing its impact on social processes.Deconstruction ofcommunication codes and proposal of a new communication paradigm and even newlanguage. Multiplication of human potential and intelligence. Freeing human being of theconstraints s of the physical (body). Discovering polidimension(s). Proposedinfrastructure of the Institute, surprisingly enough, is capable to generate revenue as wellas to produce new value, infrastructures, idioms and, respectively, a new society andHuman 2.0.

1.1 Objectives
The Institute of Vision & Message is a private research laboratory which willconduct research in nanotechnology, robotics and technology of the socialdevelopment. Three main locations of the Institute: Facility Incheon City,Korea (to be built), Facility at the Island of Korcula/Blato, which will serve forresearch in agronomy, economics and genetics; and Virtual institute (to becreated), which will serve for research in social development, cognitivemodeling, artificial intelligence, and IT neurological research.
Proposed business plan and project scope for the next 7 years is a vision ofhow the market, the high-end technology industries will look like in that timeframe and beyond, however, as the market is vibrant and unexpected theInstitute will adapt its strategy, projects and all to the market trends. Thevalue of the Institute’ s infrastructure is flexibility and complexity allowing anykind of change or adaptation to occur without stressing out the system, or evento constantly produce new systems. Furthermore, it is a vision as how societywould like in the near future; even more the Institute will vigorously shape thefuture, and correspond as a bellwether for the future society,which is its mainobjective.
A vision of upcoming society, such an intangible projection of the future couldhardly be quantified or measured, yet this business plan manages to put thevision in a relation of expenses, business model and return of investment.
The idea for the Institute is to create a superior infrastructure that thrives onprogressive economic idea that perceives the Institute as a research facilitygathering global brains and creating brain network able to generateproducts, revenue and profit but able to generate new paradigms and newsociety.
Idea is to set the basic research and development infrastructure; researchwould then be conducted at the Institute and in collaboration with other globalresearch teams. In its development the Institute would increase the numberof scientist and researchers; however, it would still make an effort topreserve the small teams and focus on collaborating with other institutes,SME-s, corporations, and partnering with other research projects. Theobjective is to transform vision into exploit.

1.2 Mission
Manipulating with atoms and nanostructures, creating new communicationparadigm, developing human brain interaction interface or intelligentcybernetic entity, represent the tools the Institute will use for achieving itsgoal: reaching the next stage of human and posthuman evolution.
The research at the Technology of the Social Development division of theInstitute could represent the biggest breakthrough since its mission is togenerate new reality. The division will try to put into perspectivedevelopment of the production and production technology, to contextualizedivision of labor, mass production and their impact on social processes,furthermore to provide a vision of the new socio-political system(s), usingsimulations and virtual simulations, cognitive modeling, theories of networks,systems, quantum physics, AI, etc.; furthermore it will explore thepossibility of creating human brain network interface; also using linguistics,mathematics and semiotics it will tray to produce new communicationparadigm. Every development research topic, division and project wouldcorrespond to the idea of carrying out the next step of human evolution.
Historically, and even more, posthistorically, the idea is for the Institute tocreate noncompetitive placid society, consequently rendering abatement ofmasproduction, culturing self-sustainable networked communities who allparticipate in the same realization of the common good and in reaching globalSOCIAL OPTIMUM. Inauguration of the intellect and creation as a main valuein a society. Abatement of the social contract. Realization of the human asa free individual. Discovering and applying complex systems. Discoveringpolidimension(s) placing neohuman or posthuman phase on the lowestnotch of the development ladder.
Following excerpt from the movie Waking Life represent similar vision, orthe 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 atthe evolution of the organism and then at the development of itsinteraction with the environment. Evolution of the organism will begin withthe evolution of life perceived through the hominid coming to the evolution ofmankind. 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 humanexpression.
The Institute of Vision and Message
Page 5
Now, what you've seen here is the evolution of populations, not so muchthe evolution of individuals. And in addition, if you look at the time scalesthat are involved here — two billion years for life, six million years for thehominid, 100,000 years for mankind as we know it — you're beginning tosee the telescoping nature of the evolutionary paradigm. And then whenyou get to agricultural, when you get to scientific revolution and industrialrevolution, you're looking at 10,000 years, 400 years, 150 years. You'reseeing a further telescoping of this evolutionary time.
What that means is that as we go through the new evolution, it's gonnatelescope to the point we should be able to see it manifest itself within ourlifetime, within this generation. The new evolution stems from information,and it stems from two types of information: digital and analog. The digitalis artificial intelligence. The analog results from molecular biology, thecloning of the organism. And you knit the two together with neurobiology.Before on the old evolutionary paradigm, one would die and the other wouldgrow and dominate. But under the new paradigm, they would exist as amutually supportive, noncompetitive grouping. Okay, independent from theexternal.
And what is interesting here is that evolution now becomes an individuallycentered process, emanating from the needs and desires of the individual,and not an external process, a passive process where the individual is justat the whim of the collective.
So, you produce a neo-human, okay, with a new individuality and a newconsciousness. But that's only the beginning of the evolutionary cyclebecause as the next cycle proceeds, the input is now this new intelligence. Asintelligence piles on intelligence, as ability piles on ability, the speedchanges. Until what? Until we reach a crescendo in a way could be imaginedas an enormous instantaneous fulfillment of human, human and neo-humanpotential. It could be something totally different. It could be the amplificationof the individual, the multiplication of individual existences. Parallelexistences now with the individual no longer restricted by time and space.
And the manifestations of this neo-human-type evolution, manifestationscould be dramatically counter-intuitive. That's the interesting part.
The old evolution is cold. It's sterile. It's efficient, okay? And itsmanifestations of those social adaptations. We're talking about parasitism,dominance, morality, okay? Uh, war, predation, these would be subject tode-emphasis. These will be subject to de-evolution. The new evolutionaryparadigm will give us the human traits of truth, of loyalty, of justice, offreedom. These will be the manifestations of the new evolution. And that iswhat we would hope to see from this. That would be nice."
"Ostendo primo conditionem hominum extra societatem civilem (quam
The Institute of Vision and Message
Page 6
conditionem appellare liceat statum naturae) aliam non esse quam bellumomnium contra omnes; atque in eo bello jus esse omnibus in omnia."
Hobbes,Thomas; Leviathan or The Matter, Forme and Power of a CommonWealth Ecclesiasticall and Civil, 1651
Social contract comes after so called „state of the nature“, in which anindividual’s actions are bound only by his or her personal power; „state of thenature“ is a state of, bellum omnium contra omnes, war of everyone againsteveryone. Social contract is a technology by which an individual gives up itsfreedom in order for the society to reach a social order.
The phenomenology of the Social Contract should also be perceived in thecontext of socio-political environment and the ideological infrastructure theauthors were part of; way before industrial revolution and even before modern(national) state was born. From that perspective concept of Social Contractwas the highest socio-political technology of the social reality.
Question of free will and freedom should be perceived in the context of socialdevelopment, and social contract (Rousseau at large). We could argue, theindividual would never claim its freedom nor power, until the social contract isabated.
There is definitely a tremendous need for the individual to (re)claim thepower. In the history of humankind people were never claiming thatfundamental power, rather they were willingly handing it over to theinstitutions of the social contract.
Power was never in a possession of just a few, it is a network of individualpowers, as Foucault (1994) claims; however it is being constantly exchangedin this pseudo power-exchange relationship/grid, thus it is impossible tocreate new idiom or accomplish any significant breakthrough.
In the context of realization of a posthuman ideal the question of freedomis 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 ideaand the message. However, our language is still rather primitive thus it iseasier to convey philosophical message in mathematical formulas/language/syntax. We should use hapax or an idiosyncratic system or an idea thatdoes not recognize its definition or identity; the entity emptied of itsreferences in order to create new society, which would in the next phaseabate itself to render non-society, or a network of individuals. Therefore forthe significant development to be accomplished we need to create morecomplex language and syntax.
Marx (1859) claims social production is conditioned by the development of
The Institute of Vision and Message
Page 7
material forces of production, independent of individual will. However, inthe new era relations of production diverge, in eccentric fashion(Baudrillard, 1981), from the given superstructures, opening a possibility for anew society to emerge and overwrite historical production relations.Furthermore, future social production could rely on realization of the freewill of the individual since it stems from the complex systems thattranscend Marx’s (1859) idea that new superior relations of production neverreplace older ones before the material conditions for their existence havematured within the framework of the old society. In such a social production(or rather emanation) we could break out from the class struggle as theonly socio-political tool for a social developmet.
The main concern in the first phase of the research in the technology of socialdevelopment will be revisiting key elements of the Marx’s HistoricalMaterialism; capital, landed property, wage-labour; the State, foreigntrade, world market.
The project that would have its priority would be the ones that are mostlikely to create ruptures in the social contract and ones that are usingtechnology for human and post human social and individual advancement, andwhich are at the same time aimed at bypassing the idea of humankindbecoming slaves to technology; namely:
1.Mathematical theorem proving “networked partnership(s)” and/or similarsocio-economic infrastructure (which mean infrastructure based on mutuallysupportive and noncompetitive system) is tremendously more viable thanretrograde economic infrastructure based on competition and like phenomena.
2.Mathematical theorem proving the possibility of creating a society outsidethe 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 defineit as a new open business model thriving on the complexity of the systembehind. The supremacy of the proposed system doesn’t mean merely breakingthe barriers between sectors: SME-s, academia, corporate, NGO, civilsociety etc. because it would be a negative definition, it has to be inlinking 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 economysectors.
Economic Vision – The idea of Networked Partnerships presuppose allsocial producing powers linked in a dynamic Modular Producing Units that atany given moment could be instantly restructured. In the second phase thesystem will be intelligent enough to make an adjustment organically by itself.
Business model for the Institute is set to assure not only swift and constantrevenue flow, but to assure self-sustainability of the Institute.
The legal infrastructure is viable as long as it provides flexible, sustainableand non-cumbersome system that both could provide economic feasibilityfor the contemporary market and sustainability and responsibility for thefuture one. Furthermore, the goal of the Institute is to create progress, neweconomies, new systems and new value in a society at large.
Basic infrastructure: Network, Complex, Fluid, Organic
Economic infrastructure: Networked partnership(s), internationalconsortium, weak links in a constant shift able to produce system thatwould assure constant flow of revenue and investments, ideas, growth anddevelopment, making the Institute self-sustainable.
The Institute’s framework presupposes research on social developmentwould influence the given infrastructure of the Institute in its development.

2.0 Company Summary
The Institute will propose its own infrastructure and the system. Systemis 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 dandelion’s(blowhead) propellers. The process of movement and connecting israndom. The question is where does the system emanates from; andwhat is its impeller? Could the system be selfemanating, or could therandom energy be the perpetuum mobile? Another idea perceivesinfrastructure 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 odtri d.o.o. (One of Three ltd) would serve as a management company tocarry out vision and to set the infrastructure for the Institute. TheInstitute' s company will be developed towards Network Partnership(instead of Public-Private Partnership). The goal for The Institute is to bedeveloped into the largest international consortium on the planet.
The idea is for the Institute to share ideas, researches, data etc. withthe companies in the industry who are willing to share the same. In thesecond phase the data and research would be shared with everyoneand all. Rationale behind that idea is that competition is not viable game inthe industry any more. Partnership and mutually supportive entities arewhat could produce greater value. Project documentation that woldfollow this business plan will go into details of the proposed legalframework, economic system and any other system, which is a base forthe development of the Institute.

Division of Technology of Social Development
Research scope: The research will go in a direction of interconnectinglanguage, communication and noise; coding, postcommunication andartificial intelligence in order to explore and produce paradigm shift incommunication, new communication paradigm or any complex socialinteraction system that would replace any known communication codes andproduce idiosyncratic communication environment that would leave farbehind any retrograde social, political or historic infrastructure. Usingmathematical codes, or perceiving mathematics as a most advanced languageand combining it with ancient languages, e.g. Sumerian language, as alanguage that communicates with subliminal codes, we could produce notonly new superior highly complex and multifaceted language (communicationtool) but the whole new society, beyond recognition or even withoutconnection to the previous level of evolutionary development.
The research would try to abolish a paradigm of the media as an extension ofthe human body and the human as a pendent of a machine and inauguratenatural interconnectedness of technology and a human, on physical, mentaland even spiritual level.
This idea presupposes language is the most important inheritance of thecivilization thus any development or/and creation of the more complexlanguage and its codes could bring to the reinvention of the civilization assuch.
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 freeentities we could be able to discover new paradigm. Not the coding ordecoding but creating new language paradigm could produce change or thenew society without any struggle or class struggle, which would happened not
The Institute of Vision and Message
Page 20
so much as a change but as a complete transformation.
Division of Technology of Social Development has an important role toassure social responsibility of the Nanotechnology or Robotics division.Furthermore, since most of the researches are interdisciplinary they will shareideas, designs and expertise. For example nanorobotics research could usea system architect or a VR designer from a Division of Technology of SocialDevelopment.
Project MindBanking.com is a global business networking portal, offeringservices which empower users to fully develop manage and build theirprojects. The idea is to put together innovators, Private Equity / VentureCapital (or any other investors) and collaborators in one place in order tocreate new vibrant business scene, which would be able to generate neweconomies. Project MindBanking.com has its finances and investmentsplanned. However further development of the MindBanking.com projectwould be financed by the Institute. The projects and development are asfollows:
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 ideasharing, collaborating, and brainstorming. The Virtual Institute will in thebeginning use the application and infrastructure of MindBanking.com, use andbuild infrastructure and community on existing virtual world e.g. EntropiaUniverse and/or become partner of Entropia Universe, further developingsolutions and worlds in a collaboration. The goal is to create a kind ofsocial parallel universe that will produce new society; to explore thepossibility and the ways in which the creation of new communicationparadigm is possible; to create such an elaborate and complex society, aparallel universe with a profound influence to the real world, (e.g. to influencea monetary infrastructure or generate socio-political changes).
The infrastructure: Researchers from the Institute will collaborate in ahighly advanced environment with their colleagues from around the globe,developing researches, projects and products; teams from the Instituteworking on a research in collaboration with general audience/users, throughthe method of "brainharvesting".
Visualization or a graphic representation of the virtual world doesn’t have tobe as expected virtual world, represented through 3D humanoid graphiccharacters and the rest, the main point is to create self-producing informationparallel 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 andmoney on cumbersome 3D infrastructure, creating the world that offersnothing new, and imports real life infrastructure.
The Schuman Resonance proves planet Earth emits 7.83 Hz resonancebetween the surface of the Earth and the conductive ionosphere, called the“Earth brain waves”. Douglas Rushkoff proposes that the consciousness of theEarth 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 givenevolutional context whether this could be done by merely taping intounconsciousness and converting it to consciousness without creating aninterface or a physical network.
Information is worth nothing if it isn’t shared. Its intrinsic value is itsfundamental “urge” to identify itself through the collective. The problem isthat the social usage and manipulation of information conforms particularinformation to designated social groups, which inhibits social and postsocialdevelopment.
Requirements: to create innovative technical, engine and virtualenvironment solution that would give optimized state-of-the-artapplication, optimized graphics control (graphic that uses optimized spaceand could be enough detailed), optimized server distribution, it couldreceive critical mass of users without an overload, creating advancednetwork redistribution of content.

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, visionand 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 relativelynew and unstructured there is definitely plenty of room for partnerships and networking totake place. Competing and competition in a market that isn’t a market yet, or where the groundrules are not established yet, along with the fact that the benchmark is extremely high, we couldperceive a strong need for alliances, collaboration and networking of any sort. Furthermore,the ideology of the Institute perceives competition as a retrograde economic idiom whichcould only abate any development and expansion, not foster it.

The idea of network partnership would definitely impact on patents realm. Projection isthat the extensive partnering would generate proliferation of patents, or their massiveincrease. The companies included in the research network would have reciprocal sharein the patent as to the amount of invested value in the research project. The argumentis also that the engagement of many different teams in a network production is a superiorinfrastructure compared to massive teams in a corporate structure, since every team inthe network partnership is bringing its own dynamics to the network, making it moreflexible and sustainable. In the literature, which will follow this business plan, the proposedidea will be tested via theory of networks and dynamics of networks. To be exact it willbe 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, thenetwork reaches a point at which it undergoes an abrupt change from a collection ofdisconnected vertices to a connected state in which, in modern parlance, the graphcontains a giant component (Barabasi, Newman, Watts; 2006, pg. 11)

5.0 Target Market Segment Strategy
Target market segmentation could seem a bit broad; however research and developmentcompanies, the institutes or similar institutions could only have to distribute their productsand services to governments (and supranational bodies) and the industry. Consumer marketsegment is rather important as well since it is expected to provide the fastest ROI and wouldassure self-sustainability of the Institute, respectively. Furthermore, it also anticipatesgrowing high-end technology consumer market.
5.1 Market Needs
The institute’ s goal is to constantly create new values, idioms and perspectives, and that couldonly 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 newexhilarating markets as well.

Times reported Friday.
The Robot Special Act, which calls for a $750,000 investment in research and
development, aims to propel South Korea into the top three nations for robotics by
2013 and capture 20 percent of the global market by 2018.
“By 2013, the domestic robot market will reach four trillion won ($3 million) in value,
lift Korea’s global market share to 13.3 percent and boost robot exports to $1
billion,” Knowledge and Economy Minister Lee Youn-ho said.

5.2 Market Trends
Dominance in government funding
The trend in the industry is that the global investment into nanotechnology ismainly governmental. The VC funding only accounted for 7% of the totalglobal investment into nanotechnology in 2008.Since projections and analysisshow serious expansion of the nanotechnology market and its growth, inthe next couple of years, it could be the cue for PE/VC to reconsidernanotechnology industry and scene as an important investment opportunity.Investors should bring with them industry knowledge and their network, alongwith financial investments, to help companies develop and market products inan 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 withstart-ups
The idea of partnerships is already in deployment, the data is from 2002:
1. Nanocor and Mitsubishi Gas Chemical joint partnership in developingnanoclays for nanocomposits
2. Nanosys and Matsushita Electric joint developing in solar cellstechnology
3. Applied Nanotech and Mitsubishi Heavy Industriesjoint partnership indeveloping carbon nanotubes for Flat Panel Displays

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 actingas a disincentive for other institutions to embark on similar research.Although this is a general trend in patenting, nanotechnology-relatedinventions could be especially affected since it is a young and growing field.
To avoid an inflation of low-quality patent applications that could clog upthe EPO and create a backlog, the EPO has introduced a quality policy tobring certainty to the market, for both the applicant and the public. The EPO’sapproach is one of "quality rather than quantity."
The Y01N tags are one element in this approach, since they enable EPOexaminers to monitor emerging nanotechnology inventions and to performbetter patentability searches. The EPO has also put measures in place to
The Institute of Vision and Message
Page 30
ensure that nanotechnology applications are treated by examiners with theright experience in the specific field.
Outlook
When it comes to nanotechnology patenting, the United States continues tolead the way, followed by Japan and Europe. Some regional differences innano application trends have already been noted: while nanobiotechnologydominates the European sphere, in Japan the bulk of patents published are innanoelectronics.
The EPO works with the Japan Patent Office and the United States Patent andTrademark Office to look at shared problems and how each countryaddresses them. Collaborating on the nanotechnology issue could help allthree offices tackle common problems that have arisen with the emergence ofthis exciting new technology.

NANOTECHNOLOGY PATENT TRENDS
Patents issuing every week demonstrate the growing importance ofnanotechnology. In many cases, technology which was first conceived in the1970s and early 1980s, often as academic curiosities, have now become amajor area of commercial development under the nanotechnology rubric.Several examples are noted below reflecting different areas ofnanotechnology. The atomic force microscope (AFM) is a powerful,fundamental nanotechnology tool and was first patented in 1988 by Bennigand IBM. By 1994, over 100 patents issued per year, and by 2003, over 500patents were issuing per year referring to this tool (Figure 1). Quantumdots and dendrimers, similarly, are examples of nanomaterials first patentedin 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).

Rich in intellectual property
Experts across Europe are in no doubt: Today's economy is becomingincreasingly knowledge-based and intellectual property in the form ofpatents plays a vital role in this growth. Between 1992 and 2002, the numberof patent applications filed in Europe, Japan and the United States grew bymore than 40 percent. The number of patents filed with the EuropeanPatent Office reflects that trend, going from approximately 100,000applications in 1997 to nearly 193,000 in 2005. This is due, in part, toindividual inventors, SMEs, large companies and research institutions realisingthe importance and economic impact of patenting their innovations. The keyobservation here: Patents can encourage innovation and economic growthunder certain conditions and hamper it under others. The impact of patentson innovation and economic performance is so complex that a fine-tunedpatent system is crucial to ensure maximum benefit for a country's firms andits overall economy.

Korea Puts $750M in Robotics, Aims to Lead Market by 2018
04.20.2009 — The government of South Korea has promised to invest 1trillion Won (about $750 million U.S. dollars) in the country’s roboticsindustry in an attempt to accelerate its growth.
The goal is to help the global robotics market grow to more than $30billion by 2013 and to help Korean companies take as much as 10 percentof that market, according to Huh Kyung, Director General for EmergingIndustry in the government’s Ministry of Knowledge Economy, which isresponsible for regulating and overseeing high-tech industries in SouthKorea.
The First Basic Plan for Intelligent Robots calls for Korea to be one of thetop three producers of robotic products by 2013 and the leadingproducer by 2018. That would total more than $1 billion U.S. for exportand $3 billion for internal consumption.
The Republic of Korea has treated its IT infrastructure and industries askey drivers of economic growth since the mid-1990s, and committed itselfto 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 calledIT839, whose goal was to build a robust internal IT networkinginfrastructure, and promote specific high-tech industries, including servicerobotics. It invested $264 million over five years in 16 projects designedto boost the domestic intelligent robotics industry, Kara said.
The effort, and Korea’s robotics manufacturers, have been remarkablysuccessful, according to Kara.
“I’m not surprised the [Korean] government sees robotics as a driver forthe economy,” agreed Barbara Coffey, analyst at financial services firmKaufman Brothers. “The South Korean market has been a huge winner incell phones and other electronics. They’ve been a leader in digitalbroadcasts and in uses for small devices, so they’re probably in a goodposition for robotics as well, as far as manufacturing and research[capabilities].”
Speaking at last week’s RoboBusiness conference in Boston, Rus predictedthat the market for service robots alone would grow from about $600million in 2002 to more than $52 billion by 2025, largely driven by the

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 grew65% to US$567 million.
And all of that is due to the creativity and innovation of the Second LifeResidents.
By way of comparison, real-world global output is forecast to havedeclined 1.1% in 2009 (see the IMF World Economic Outlook report,October 2009). The Bureau of Economic Analysis will post figures for theUS economy for Q4 and 2009 on January 29th, but their most recentforecast was for the US economy to have shrunk by 2.7% in 2009.Despite a challenging macro environment, the Second Life economy didquite well to grow in 2009.
Before we dive into the numbers for 2009, we want to acknowledge thatlast year was an economically challenging one for many people in thereal world and many Second Life Residents. Some Second Life Residentbusinesses faced hard times while others flourished. Our focus is towork hard in 2010 (and beyond) to increase the number of Second LifeResidents, so that the Second Life economy will continue to grow, givingall Residents the opportunity to benefit.

8.1.4 Threats
The idea too progressive or ahead of time.
Research to extend to a longer period than projected.

8.2 Strategy Pyramid
The path to evolution quantum leap. It must be comprehended that the path to a newevolution stage is not a linear one. It is rather a complex and unstable structure which holdsnumerous properties and is extremely powerful. That power in this context is as we coulddescribe it, pure energy drifting in hyperconnected puddles. The research projects and scopesoverlap with one another as well as with strategic objectives proving the complex structureand infrastructure of the institute and its strategy plausible.
a.Deconstruction of all retrograde historic infrastructures and paradigms of the society which isdue to come through deconstruction of retrograde economic structures: division of labor, massproduction, competition, value chain and such and de-emphasizing their impact on socialprocesses. The mention could be accomplished through engaging communities in self-organized production (research projects: mindbanking.com, brainharvest.biz, roboticsresearch in relieving society from servile and detrimental labor)
b.Deconstruction of communication codes by researching language syntax, construction anddeconstruction of the language codes, investigating math codes and its relation andinteraction to human and post human consciences; combining mathematics, semiotics,linguistics and other related and non related science methods in order to produce newlanguage (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 forthe society at large. Deconstruction of all retrograde historic infrastructures and paradigms ofthe 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-emphasizingits impact on social processes.Deconstruction of communication codes and proposal of a newcommunication paradigm and even new language. Multiplication of human potential andintelligence. Freeing human being of the constraints s of the physical (body). Discoveringpolidimension(s). Proposed infrastructure of the Institute, surprisingly enough, is capable togenerate 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 thebasic system. Global network of brains, which is constantly expanding. Virtually nocompetition 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 (aboutmarket)". The background of proposed marketing strategy is theory;
Social Contract (Hobbes,Thomas; Leviathan or The Matter, Forme and Power of aCommon Wealth Ecclesiasticall and Civil, 1651; )
Social Contract (Rousseau, Jean Jaques; The Social Contract; 1762)
Historical Materialism (Marx, Karl ; A Contribution to the Critique of PoliticalEconomy,1859)
Foucault, Michel; Power, Essential Works of Foucault 1954 - 1984, volume 3; EditionsGallimard; 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)

8.5.1 Positioning Statement
There is definitely a necessity for an institute of such research scope and magnitude, sincethere is the global need for a development boost, quantum leap even. Hope it is not toopompous 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 andevolution, 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 retrogrademarketing and advertising solutions and practices will be avoided as much as possible.Social media is somewhat acceptable communication solution, although it is already anold concept and practice.
8.5.4 Distribution Strategy
The Institute of Vision and Message
Page 56
8.5.5 Marketing Programs
The economic logic behind the proposed system starts with Baudrillard’s critique of Marx,accepting the notion that Marx was too rooted in assumptions of political economy toprovide a framework for radical action (Baudrillard, 1975). Conceivably the quandary isthe theory is rooted, and not that is rooted in political economy. Using unstable theoryof complex infrastructure (almost organic one) we could possibly be empowered forradical action, through radical theory, if the radical is to be of any merit to the sametheory. He proposes radical thought: labor power doesn’t need to be labor power(Baudrillard, 1975). Expanding the idea, if the labor power becomes creative power, oran intellectual power and abate labor power, it would diminish assumptions of historicmaterialism thus making exchange of power that abolishes rooted codependencebetween modes of production and means of production, also between labor andownership.
Marketing programs emanate from the idea of revisiting and restructuring basic marketlogic and dynamics. The idea of Networked Partnerships: all social producing powerslinked in a dynamic Modular Producing Units that at any given moment could beinstantly restructured, creating the system intelligent enough to make an adjustmentorganically by itself, is just a beginning of rethinking the market structure. If we perceivethe market as a live(!) entity any paradigm shift is possible; even more so if we perceiveit as a contingency, market being fundamentally contingent or ad hoc. It could open avast number of properties which could rise the quality of the market, giving the market apossibility to adapt swiftly to any influence, change or an impact. Mentioned presupposesabatement of value-chain (perhaps a value network is a new idiom) or any other rigidmarket structure.

8.6 Sales Strategy
Business model
The idea is for the Institute to build a basic infrastructure to enable research according toresearch scope(s) and strategic goals. Further development requires collaboration withresearch teams and individuals around the globe. Sharing research will enable optimalinfrastructure to be established and developed. Furthermore, it will enable swifteradvancement in research and development. The idea is to create a system that is notcumbersome and not too costly, a system which is flexible and could restructure at any timewithout stressing the infrastructure drastically.
Furthermore, project documentation which is to be developed will further develop infrastructureand economic logic upon the Institute will grow, and would have a task to prepare originalbusiness infrastructure for the start-up. One of the ideas is for the Institute to be an agency forbrains, ideas and development.
Research
Main activity of the Institute and will be conducted at the startup in 3 different divisions: Divisionof 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-termresearch 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 SocialDevelopment in order to have constant revenue assured. Revenue will be achieved viasubscriptions, 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. Consultingservice is also planned in order to have constant revenue assured.

8.6.1 Sales Forecast
Projection is that research from the Division of Technology of the Social Developmentwould generate fastest ROI since it is a research that starts immediately or it alreadycommenced; furthermore it is a short-term research with go-to-market action in 2years, and it represents consumer based distribution (content sales, service sales,product and virtual product sales, etc.). Research is further divided to medium-termresearch with go to market in 3-5 years, and long-term research with a time frame of go-to-market action of 5-7 years. Furthermore, we expect at least two more investmentrounds 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. Onetask 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 thefacilities are built or adapted; it would start at partners' companies/facilities/venues, willbe developed in virtual spaces and spheres, will use established internet venues, oreven use ad hoc methodology. To exemplify; research in any proposed topic innanotechnology could start as a discussion at any internet venue. The idea is that theInstitute is an entity that already exists, which develops and evolves all the time, and is nottied down to any physical location. The Institute IS! at this very moment, and became atthe 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 theidea and the vision, the leader and the one who fiercely struggles for the idea and theprogram to become real. The others will follow. The idea of leadership in this context doesnot mean rigidity and ruling, it is more of an avantgarde, or someone who can seefurther. The job already done in three years include: development of the idea andproject 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 theinfrastructure, network-like, fluid, organic, modular, and of course optimal.
