Europe joined together to tacklefuture C02 emissions

- To nurture entrepreneurial ideas.- To find practical sustainable alternatives to fossil fuel for the EU & global power.- Manage and monitor the European Super Grid on behalf of the European member states providing real time inter country power distribution and load balancing.

Riduna Institute is working with the European Union to find an holistic solution to our future needs of energy and a real long lasting design framework for our cities as well as its buildings. This collaboration is a fundamental aim of the Riduna Island projects. We continue to lobby and use our media influence to move towards a European Super Power Grid. Collaboration with the European Union is essential to finding a long lasting solution to energy, carbon and a sustainable urban environment’

Evolved from the ‘Knowledge Worker’ the ‘Tech-nology Trekker’ maps data, human behaviour and multiple skill sets to innovate. The Technology Trekker chooses their own steps and eschews the career ladder. The Trekker seeks diverse and mul-tiple environments to meet and make.

The Techno-Trekker

Choice of Environment Diversity of Work Modes The Island landscapes support innovation as metaphors for the process of creativity (establish a beachhead, forest of ideas, venture trails) This setting could be a City, a Building or a Floorplate. Our research shows that higher performing businesses place more emphasis on Learn/Focus/Collaborate/Socialize. The Island analogy takes this further augmenting spaces programmed for pure ‘Work’. As on an expedition into new territories teams need places to Recharge/Resource/Reflect)
