Project Identigenesis© Incubation/Innovation Centres
Part incubator/innovation centre, community public space and online portal, Project Identegenisis© is a world’s first that creates physical/virtual architectural spaces representative of the advanced technological era in which we currently live.
Project Identigenesis© strengthens and enhances local economies and cultures to counter the negative results of state failures, including transitioning economies, weakening cultures and identities, and failed institutions. Democracy is supported through Project Identigenesis© because it provides a voice for people.
Project Identigenesis© incorporates the logic of “Effects Based Approach to Operations” designed with stability, peace and economic strength as the end-state objective.

 

Economic and Culture Incubator
The Economic and Culture Incubator strengthens communications between people, cultures, identity groups, regions, and nations through the use of portal technologies linked to real-world places. This incubator promotes local culture, community well-being and connectivity as the underpinnings of strong economic development. This method has been used successfully in international development to strengthen people and their economies that have been affected by conflict, state failures, and natural disasters. The methodology works equally well in domestic contexts because it focuses on people first.

 

Private Sector Business Incubator
Most business incubators in North America are funded through public sector funds. This incubator uses a private sector investment model to support the growth of local businesses. The businesses incubated through this system are funded through a private sector investment fund, enabling a spectrum of local businesses at various levels to attain further growth and profitability. This model has fewer governmental strings attached to the types and scale of businesses requiring incubation, and each applicant is assessed by a board of investors, based on risk and ROI. Private sector funds enable faster growth and help local businesses to profit more quickly from incubation.

 

Security and Defence Incubator
This incubator brings together retired military, security and defence professionals in an incubator environment to support security-related inventions and products and bring them to market. When our men and women in uniform retire from the Canadian Forces and other security/defence sectors, they often have many ideas on how to improve field operations and reduce risks for the profession of arms. This incubator provides a place to harvest these ideas, convert them into prototypes, and test proofs of concept to eventually bring the new products to market.

 

First Nations Incubator/Community Development Centre
This incubator works with the First Nations to bring their products to an international market space. This incubator is located on reservations and provides a place for First Nations businesses to be incubated. It provides a forum to harvest ideas, develop prototypes, and test proof of concepts, to eventually bring new products to market to benefit the First Nations and further their business growth and profitability. This incubator strengthens and enhances First Nations economies and cultures to counter the negative results of political failures, including transitioning economies, weakened cultures and identities, and failed institutions.

 

North-American Security Corridor (NASC)
Our project builds upon the existing NAFTA train transportation Super Corridor intended to link Canada, USA, and Mexico. Our project is a train transportation network that runs along the existing electrical infrastructure network instead of along highways and other land appropriations. Electrical grids connect all towns and cities and are already designated government properties. They are available to support the further development of a public train transportation network. This project is less expensive, environmentally focused, and faster to implement. It creates a securitized corridor to enable the management of more critical infrastructures.

 

Wireless Path Mapping & Management
Wireless traffic requires better monitoring and management. Our project offers a solution that minimizes the negative effects of ever increasing wireless data transmissions and offers a way to manage data pathways. Using military electronic warfare triangulation technologies, we locate and map all TX and RX equipment locations within an urban centre. A program then converts TX and RX paths into a real-time coded colour/pattern visual display that tracks and identifies wireless paths. It uses an LCD monitor as a binocular/helmet for real-time demonstration purposes.

 

ICTMortgages.com
ICTMortgages.com offers financing to businesses for the development of their ICT assets using the same financial formula used by mortgage lenders to finance real estate acquisitions. We offer comprehensive financing and insurance packages to businesses developing and growing their ICT assets, such as websites, e-commerce solutions, software upgrades, and Internet marketing strategies.

 

ICTStartup.com
ICTStartup.com is the first storefront franchise for consumer website development. Each franchise location provides in-house ICT products and services for website development and web-based business support. Our clients move through a similar business development cycle found in business incubators designed to accelerate traditional businesses to an Internet online sales marketplace. In addition to transitioning clients towards e-business, ICTStartup.com brings virtual-based businesses to storefront “walk by traffic” locations.

 

Canada House
Canada House is an International Trade House and Economic Market Expansion Franchise. This project is designed for countries interested in expanding international trade relations and agreements. Based on historic precedents of international merchant trade houses, Canada House incorporates 21st century business and trade strategies for developing and expanding markets and economies.

 

Municipal Economic Tax Investment Model
This working model offers a private sector investment strategy for municipalities to invest into local small- and medium-sized businesses and private sector projects in exchange for a return on investment to reduce and/or offset taxes for the citizens of a community.
Transforming Canadian municipal taxes into community investments is not a commonly used economic strategy, despite past municipal-level successes of electricity producing power dams, Casinos, and wind energy projects.
Municipalities that build a private investment strategy to collectively invest into projects for the reduction of taxes for citizens is unique and timely. Developing an economic model that is tax/investor centric is a revolutionary concept.

International Project Management

Mass Atrocities Response Operations and Mass Atrocities Planning Guide
The Mass Atrocity Prevention (MAP) Planning Guidebook is an adaptation of proven military planning processes applied in civilian contexts with civilian stakeholders to analyze information gathered from early warning systems to generate practical policy options for intervention decision-makers.

 

CANAID Emergency Response
As NGO’s and humanitarian agencies continue to “cluster” their efforts during emergency international humanitarian interventions, they will require a common operating platform and supporting technology to strengthen their efforts. With the further development of the “comprehensive approach” and “joined-up efforts” for mitigating crisis and disasters, the availability of co-coordinated communication is ideally timed. The economic downturn coupled with a noted increase in disaster and crisis interventions positions CANAID Emergency Response to be widely adopted by NGOs and humanitarian agencies.

Diaspora Communications Response Centers
PCP© Diaspora Communications Centres are a physical location with virtual networking and communications capabilities that serve a Diaspora community and their host government to best serve their disaster-affected homeland.
