Two parts

2. An institute with world leading conferences, guest scientists for global development and marketing concerning Biessie Baenie, Östersund.

The Internet platform
The base for thenewworldbank.com is an Internet platform with a global audience. Product: a Wikipedia for urban solutions, an open source project for community building. A tool for all involved used to develop ideas and solutions as well as to create a feeling of being part the making of a better world and the creating of a network. Social responsibility walks side by side with business possibilities.

The business plan is developed in two phases:

Phase 1:
The fall of 2008 - the spring of 2009. The building of a prototype. Creating a structure as well as an abutment. Seeking support with bigger partners, such as EU, foundations, UN and the Worldbank. In excess of this, finding more financial support. Michael Daun - project leader. Jan Åman - creative director. External consults among others: Kohei Nishiyama (Tokyo) Bill Liao (Switzerland) Veronika Valk (Tallinn)

Phase 2:
2009 - The composing of a finished product.
