Zero Emission Research and Initiative
Zero Emissions Research & Initiatives (Zeri) is a global network of creative minds that seek solutions to global challenges. The common vision shared by the members of the Zeri family is that we want to meet the basic needs of all with what is available locally. We adopt innovative commercial models that generate multiple advantages, increasing productivity while creating jobs.
The Zeri Foundation has been a network since 2001, and it serves as an antenna in the world economy by identifying the high growth industries of the next decade. When there is a crisis, many companies suffer, but some people thrive. Who are the job creators in the future? What are the innovations that will change economic models? What are the new corporate models that change game rules?
Thanks to its contacts on four continents and to nearly 200 projects that have demonstrated in the last 20 years in which the opportunities are, Zeri offers advice to governments in the sectors to be attracted, to companies on market niches to favor and communities on how to ensure the continuous development of share capital. To do this, we carry out an examination -identification of all opportunities -, a sorting -reduction of these to those which are unanimous -and a decision of implementation. We have a deep ethical commitment to open source, because we think that we cannot convert solutions for a better world in proprietary know-how protected by non-disclosure agreements.
The blue economy is Zeri's philosophy in action.
The blue economy is that where the best for health and the environment is the cheapest and where the necessities of life are free thanks to a local production and consumption system that works with what you have.
" Innovative business models " are capable of providing competitive products and services on the market, meeting basic needs while building a share capital and improving the state of mind in harmony with the progressive path of nature.
" Competitiveness " consists in exploiting and optimizing the virtues and innate values which connect the unexploited local potential - as a natural system, where the seeds remain fallow to germinate with an amazing vigor in the first rain, liberating joy and the Happiness when the conditions for a full -minded life are met in balance and harmony.
Zeri is one of the most innovative thinking groups in the world, ranked 7th by the University of Pennsylvania.
The University of Pennsylvania establishes a classification of reflection groups in the world.
Zeri ranks in the world top 10 (n ° 7) of reflection groups with the most innovative political ideas/proposals.
We would like to thank everyone who challenged us and inspired. We have exceeded all the major German political research institutes, we are among the best in Asia and our alternative Development friends (Ashok Khosla in India) are also well classified. Congratulations to Ashok!
Our “zero program” philosophy, introduced for the first time in 1991, gained popularity, but above all, we gain ground with hundreds of concrete initiatives. Our greatest influence is undoubtedly the distribution of millions of fables in dozens of languages to children around the world, especially in China. It is the largest long -term political initiative ever undertaken.
The start of the adventure
In 1994, I created Zero (Zero Emissions Research and Initiatives), first based at the University of the United Nations in Tokyo, as a network of 3,000 scientists looking for pragmatic solutions to poverty, climate change and to competitiveness.
