creating innovation momentum – a blog about the Future of Money Project

Linked with What story would you tell? with CSR in a season of economic downturn, with Emergence Collective, with new economic forum nef, with Assata Shakur Forums, and with New Economy Movement.

• Emergence Collective is a prototype of the future of open innovation collaboration. True innovation cannot be owned; it is the result of resonance with the spirit of the times (zeitgeist) and is fundamentally dependent on the collective intelligence manifested through distributed parallel research and development on a global level. For innovation to have a measurable and positive impact on global society it must be allowed to flourish throughout the information ecosystem as an unrestrained cultural meme. Emergence Collective invites daring individuals who want to join the bleeding edge of global innovation the chance to co-create aesthetic, technological and social momentum.
• Our first initiative, The Future of Money project, is currently underway. (Concept).
