OSE Fellows are leading innovators selected by OSE to develop Distributive Enterprise. 12 Fellows will be selected in 2013 for a pilot program - and will work in pairs - to advance distributive enterprise based on the GVCS. The specific enterprises that are pursued will be determined by the Fellows. This is a residency program at Factor e Farm, but it may include research- and development-based travel.
Each team will be paired with world-class Advisors and Mentors to assist with strategic, technological, and business development. Enterprise models generated are intended to be replicable by others in the mainstream economy. These enterprises are intended to be disruptive through their orientation on distributive economics, true service, lifetime and modular design, ecological properties, and ethical social entrepreneurship.
As part of the program, the Fellows will contribute to he Village Experiment of Factor e Farm - as part of a community whose goal is to demonstrate that a modern standard of living can be attained on the scale of a village - based 100% on local resources - with 2 hours of work per day. This social experiment is intended to to provide hard data on the limits of appropriate, modern productive technology. We aim to answer the more general question - whether wise use of technology has the capacity to provide high quality of life on a local scale -without contributing to geopolitical compromises of artificial scarcity - as a scalable model for a new civilization.
