THE WORLD INNOVATION FOUNDATION:
What Honorary Members and Fellows do for the world-at-large
Consultations
Introduction. The World Innovation Foundation
is the only fully ‘independent’ scientific,
technological, engineering and applied economic
‘think-tank’ in the world today. The WIF has no
direct financial ties to any governments or corporate
entities. It is therefore a free-thinking group of the
world’s foremost creative minds.
Overview. Honorary Members and Fellows act
in concert on consultations for the enlightenment and
mutual benefit of governments throughout our
planet. Our members determine through their
leading-edge knowledge and in concert with a
nation’s
indigenous
scientists,
engineers,
technologists and inventors, what technologies
should be developed for any particular nation. In this
respect differing countries have differing indigenous
strengths in terms of materials, resources and
personal knowledge.
The WIF is therefore the only institution that
interacts directly with all the world’s indigenous
scientists assembling their respective economies into
sustaining and developing economies. What this
means is that those nations develop peacefully and in
harmony, and where scientific collaboration,
cooperation and communication are the hallmarks of
the WIF’s work.
In this respect peace is attained through direct
actions and where those actions are non-aggressive.
In the twenty-first century the world will have
to adapt to new reference points. These points or
determinants of global change will push forward the
frontiers of science and technology like no other
century and with that the progress of humankind will
reach unimaginable heights. In this world,
technological miracles will abound.
The essence of the WIF’s internal thinking is as
Newton famously once said, ‘there are many
Newtons in this life’. Indeed, to identify these
unique individuals within our society who command
these revolutionary philosophies is paramount for
the world’s future peaceful progress. In this respect
the WIF’s work encompasses this sifting process,
identifying such forward-thinking people for the
benefit of all.
Overall, the WIF only applies its consultation to
problems associated with peace-abiding nations.
Therefore, nations in conflict with the world
community are not nations that the WIF interacts
with.
How do the WIF’s Consultations for
Governments Work?
WIF-Nations Consultation Agreements
The Step-by-Step Process
The WIF’s executive makes contact with
respective knowledge-based Honorary Members and
Fellows.
A nucleus on average of twenty Honorary
Members and Fellows are chosen to advise a
government behind the scenes on a particular
indigenous problem and its possible solution. This is
consultation in concert, but where Honorary
Members and Fellows act individually in their
personal thinking and capacity, i.e no contact is
made directly between members and fellows for
purpose of so that opinion and thought is kept.
Honorary Members and Fellows who accept the
consultation are thereafter given between six to eight
weeks to forward their consultations via the email
system to the WIF.
Once the replies are received by the WIF, all
replies are detailed in full within a document.
Then the WIF’s management through the
Honorary Member’s/Fellow’s replies makes the
document holistic in its reading
In this respect the WIF’s members advise a
nation’s government and their scientists on what
scientific and technological developments will
produce enhanced prosperity for the nation’s people.
The WIF’s members therefore advise a nation on
what technologies they should exploit. What this
means for nations is that they maximize the
respective nations’ resources correctly, and thus
avoid the waste of vast capital investment sums that
in general terms with technological development
leads to nowhere. Indeed, it is a known fact that
The World Innovation Foundation: What Honorary Members and Fellows do for the world-at-large
positive R&D investment costs are only around 5%
effective, as the remaining 95% is lost to
technological ideas that do not produce a
commercial success. This is where the WIF’s
leading-edge
examination
and
diagnostic
consultations come in as they sift a nation’s
indigenous ideas, sciences and inventions to reduce
the possibility of failure.
What the WIF’s Consultations Try to
Achieve
The WIF’s leading-edge scientific/engineering
knowledge in concert and unique mechanism
combined with sensitive intuition provides a nation
with the means to develop its indigenous strengths
with minimal R&D investment loss. The WIF’s
consultations therefore maximize a nation’s
resources in providing for their people and all their
future generations.
In many ways the WIF tries to identify new
global technologies that a nation’s scientists and
engineers have discovered through preliminary
R&D. In this respect the WIF looks for the next
equivalent of the ‘transistor’ which has according to
the Bell Labs website spawned over the last fiftyyears or so a new global industry that now turns over
US$1.2 trillion or 3% of the total economic output of
the world. These are the technologies that the WIF’s
members ultimately seek to find. In concert the
WIF’s members have the only working mechanism
that can identify these technologies.
A nation’s people is the most precious of all
resources. The people’s thoughts, ideas and creative
thinking produce all new wealth. Indeed, without the
people’s thinking the modern world would not be as
it is today. What we mean by this is that although
science has provided the phenomena to create new
technologies, the history of science and technology
and indeed the world has also taught us that many of
the planet’s primary inventions were exploited by
the people. Examples of this type of phenomenon
abound and include the aeroplane, the radio, satellite
communications, the TV set, personal computers, the
WWW and the motor car. Each one of these was the
concept and development of individuals who were
not principally employed to create technological
miracles, but they did. The WIF’s global strategy
therefore does not only concerns itself with
scientists, technologists and engineers but also the
world’s people. Combine these two pre-eminent
creative elements together and humankind’s progress
would be as never seen before. The WIF therefore
wishes to fully involve the future creative thoughts
of all mankind.
In an ever increasing complex world, complex
solutions are needed.

A Global Perspective
What will the world be like in 25 years, 50
years or even 100 years from now? What life will
our children and grandchildren have in 25-years time
or their children in 50-years time from now?
These are real questions that require a great deal
of study and discussion. One thing is for sure, the
world will be a far more competitive and
economically hostile environment for all emerging
and industrialized economies to sell their ‘goods and
services’ within, and if for any reason these
economic products are out-of-date, they will simply
have no markets at all. Indeed, economic dynamism
will be at the very heart of a future world order and
where the planet’s problems will inevitably be either
solved or not. The driving force for this will be
‘Science’ and the exploitation of its many
discoveries. In this respect the pre-eminent of all
humankind’s growing problems on our present
course is that in a mere 40 to 50-years time the
world’s population will have doubled. Then we shall
have over 12 billion people living on planet Earth.
This unprecedented truism of the first order is the
unimaginable future scenario that our children will
have to face. Indeed, this huge and uncompromising
problem is frightening to say the very least as we
currently cannot feed, clothe, or house our present
global population of around 6 billion inhabitants.
How therefore will we be able to provide for twiceas-many people on earth with the current ‘ad hoc’
system, which is not conducive to global cooperation? Indeed presently this is simply an
impossible feat, for if we cannot solve this preeminent of all the planet’s growing problems, our
future generations look forward to a dire and bleak
future world where it will be ravaged by wars,
famine and ultimately humankind’s possible
extinction. Therefore these are the harsh words that
we all have to take extremely seriously. To stop this
from happening and to solve mankind’s greatest
future challenge we need the creative help of all
peoples of the world before it is far too late and
where the ORE Complex will, through the world’s
scientists and engineers, eventually solve these
problems that concerns our very existence. In this
respect the world of tomorrow dictates that we shall
all have to co-operate with each other so as to create
a single planet nation. A necessity that the exPresident of the former Soviet Union, Nobel
Laureate Mikhail Gorbachev has reinforced and
stressed on numerous occasions over the past few
years. Presently and incredibly, over 99.80% of the
world’s population are excluded from any
involvement with scientific and technological
94
research and less than one-twentieth of one percent
of the world’s population are engaged in the planet’s
leading edge research effort. These narrow-minded
statistics that in many ways keeps the majority of the
world in poverty have to change. In this respect it is
projected that the world on its present course will
create a world where 8% live in sheer luxury and
92% live in abject poverty by 2050. This is a clear
indication of the problems our future generations
will face and a recipe for Armageddon. Indeed, we
have to open-up the whole aspect of creativity if we
are to solve our planet’s emerging problems and for
that we have to take into account all of mankind’s
creative thoughts. If not, we shall not be able to
ultimately safeguard our children’s future or indeed
their lives from the mid-twenty-first century and
beyond. What can be done therefore? In this respect,
the world’s scientific inventors and innovators are
our only source of pure and applied enlightenment.
Overall, they are the only ones who intrinsically
have the necessary creative tools to deliver a far
better future world order. For in the long-term the
only redress for any nation is to excel in the creation
of a never-ending flow of new products and services
for the markets of tomorrow. This is where the
involvement of all mankind has its place. Indeed,
more inventions for commercial exploitation are
derived by the creative thought patterns of the
average man or woman in the street than are ever
conceived in advanced centres of research, or in our
universities, by a very high margin. ‘When one
considers that anyone who switches on the electric
light, turns on the television, makes a phone call,
uses the World Wide Web, watches a film, uses a
personal computer, plays a record or tape, uses
electricity, takes a photograph, designs computer
software, drives a car or travels by aeroplane, he or
she has a lone eccentric to thank, not institutional
science.’
Indeed, many of these intuitive and highly
creative individuals have been purely ordinary and
self-taught people who have in the main created our
modern world. Their drive has been purely interest
in many ways and which can be perceived as a
hobby to create new things through purely human
endeavour. Therefore, is it not abundantly clear that
humankind’s future progress resides in the release of
ever more innovative thought by an opening-up of
the world’s future progress to all? If the answer is
‘Yes’, then we have no real alternative but to create
the means by which all peoples of the world are
allowed to participate in the planet’s future wealth
creating mechanism and thereby determine our
ultimate destiny as a species in the twenty-first
century and beyond. With less than 1/20th of 1% of
the total population of the world being involved with
leading edge R&D, whilst the world’s overriding
From International Conferences
population increases by 250,000 ever day, is it no
wonder that the general human experience is in
decline? If only the remaining 99.80% of the
planet’s population were allowed to participate in
R&D what vast changes we would see! This is
where the development of the immense Open
Research Establishment will start the change in
dynamics that is so needed in the present world and
which will kick-start the pre-eminent modern
processes that will be required in this century for our
people’s ultimate survival and peaceful progress. In
this respect the Open Research Establishment will be
the central catalyst for sustainable development
consisting initially of over 20,000 intuitive and
inventive scientists, engineers, technologists and
technical support personnel. Additionally the ORESTEM will create further employment throughout
the world where after 20 years of operations some
500 million people will find ‘new’ work and
thereafter increasing year-on-year. Increasing with
the development of over 1,000 ORE-Satellite
Incubator Centres throughout the world (one for
every 6 million of the world’s inhabitants), the
ORE’s wealth creating mechanism will provide work
for all nations through the exploitation of mankind’s
inner thoughts and their sciences. All this will bring
forth a four-fold increase in global trade. Indeed, by
the start of the twenty-second century the concept of
the ORE will have grown to create a one-nation
world that lives in harmony and co-operation. No
other global mechanism will produce such a future
‘vision’ and provide for a peaceful world order. This
‘new’ approach will deliver great impetus and
investment within the world’s present and future
universities and global research centres as their
research capability will increase sequentially through
funding by secondment and utilization of their
research facilities for the Open Research
Establishment’s
ever
on-going
scientific,
technological, engineering and manufacturing
work—eradicating many of humankind’s killerdiseases and global conflicts in the process. In all,
the world’s people will win through by their total
participation in the planet’s future wealth creating
mechanism. For this would then create a ‘two-way
street’ of never ending creative endeavour. On
completion, the Open Research Establishment will
self-fund itself and be self-supporting negating the
necessity for any inter-government funding. In this
respect vast operating surpluses will be created
through the ORE-STEM’s pre-eminent global work
and these will be redistributed with compassion to
the furtherment of humankind’s ultimate destiny. As
possibly the greatest scientist of all time, Sir Isaac
Newton once said, ‘there are many Newtons’. Above
all, these were possibly the most important words for
humankind that he ever spoke as he considered that
The World Innovation Foundation: What Honorary Members and Fellows do for the world-at-large
he was no different to any other mere mortal of his
time. Indeed, when we take on-board the conception
of what Newton said, we start to understand what
immense contribution the Open Research
Establishment’s development will do for the future
world-at-large. In this respect it is hoped to create
not just twenty-first century technologies but
possibly those of the twenty-second century and
beyond in our time. Strangely but true, the identified
ideal global location for this vast undertaking for all
humankind is situated in the very same County that
Newton was born and where he determined all his
revolutionary ideas, thinking and inventions that
started the change in our comprehension of the
universe forever. In this respect also, even George
Boole the wholly self-taught mathematician who
invented Boolean algebra, the ‘0’s and ‘1’s that
make all our modern computers work, was born as
well and where the ORE-STEM Complex will be
operational. When everything has been said, the
world’s ever-increasing problems need more than
ever before a central economic catalyst for its
peaceful and sustainable progress. Indeed, without
this new vision for the world of tomorrow, our
children, their children and all future generations
will suffer at the hands of our creative neglect, for
without the ORE and its global Incubator Centres
they will look forward to a world ravaged by wars,
famine and ultimately their own destruction. In order
therefore to stop these event ever happening all
nations have to start co-operating now for some are
beginning to say that we have only a mere 30-years
to turn the world around, for after this period events
will become irreversible. For our young we have
accordingly to put in place the mechanism that will
provide for a truly single planet nation and that
mechanism can only be activated through the Open
Research Establishment which will be built for the
benefit of all humankind. These words are a timely
warning for a world that urgently needs new
direction!
