Problem solving through manufacturing

A possible funnel to the point of manufacturing

• Science-Art ('Think')
  • Philosophy of technology
  • Industrial Arts
  • Scientific research
  • Engineering/Mathematics
  • Design for Industry 4.0 where possible
• Build prototype ('Make', with pre-seed funding eg.Gov, philanthropists)
• Test prototype ('Break', using scientific instruments and observation skills - all clearly documented)
• Develop prototype (field testing of prototypes then refine design and more testing until a prototype is ready for commercialisation)
• Commercialise (seed funding, with possible Gov 'dollar for dollar' of Venture Capital/VC)
• Manufacturing
  • Domestic market, with Industry 4.0 regional manufacturing where possible
  • Overseas markets, with 'no border' Industry 4.0, possibly 'Open Source' IP or closed box IP eg.CADs

3 enablers

• Solving a problem with a technology 'Startup'
• Gov policy technology manufacturing priorities
• Gov funding eg. pre-seed (tiered funding for increasing size of small grants aligned to Gov problem priorities with basic vetting) and seed (outsourced expert panel + Gov 'dollar for dollar' of VC)

As the world changes so do the problems that need to be solved, often with technology. Startups can solve many of these technology problems. Regenerative Growth with Appropriate Carbon Removal Technology (ACRT, see web page) for a 'Circular Bioeconomy' can be achieved over the long-term to solve most of our sustainability problems with practically unlimited business game. New business is the enabler along with existing business adaptation.
