We’re trying to raise funding for innovation & their adoption aimed at developing countries, in the longer term.
Our mission is to lower the innovation drawbridge, so developing nations can learn to support and protect themselves. Our research & development will be targeted towards being as appropriate for these socioeconomic situations as we can feasibly fund. But currently we give all our revenue to independent charities.
Food production
We aim to reduce the complexity of growing high-yield mushrooms. We are currently developing novel low-tech methods for growing gourmet mushrooms in temperate climates.
Once we can get robust yields of mushroom ‘fruits’, focus will shift to adapting our methods to hotter climates such as those experienced in the northern region of Africa, while also determining how to reduce cultivation equipment and resources. You can read more about this on our food production research space.
Pandemic mitigation
We aim to increase the effectiveness of easily-manufactured Personal Protective Equipment. We are currently researching the fluid dynamics of airborne virus transmission around face shields.
Once accuracy of our numerical approach is established, focus will shift to optimisation of the shield’s shape to allow better protection. Finally, we will ensure easy manufacturing of the shield via distributed mechanisms (3D printers, for example). You can read more about this on our pandemic mitigation research space.
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.

But why not consult research institutions? In general each country’s research agenda & priorities are set by their own federal government, which demonstrably tailors it’s policies to benefit it’s own citizens, not the global community.
At least that’s the case in Australia, where particular self-interested knob-heads such as Dean Sherr claim the government’s foreign policy “places our national interest ahead of domestic concerns” (in relation to the lack of government action for a ceasefire against genocide in Gaza).
We assert this is inequitable and morally corrupt. Rich countries can achieve more internationally than within their own shores (amount of improvement to people per dollar), and more importantly attempt to level the playing field, globally.
