International expansion - Social Impact Project

WHO : Grey-box is a social innovation startup that is working on providing free wifi access to educational content in areas where internet and electricity access is problematic. WHY: 50% of the world lives offline – they haven’t connected to the internet in the last 3 months. In Africa, the average cost for 1GB of data is 7% of the average monthly salary. Even in North America, 50% of rural Canada does not have access to the minimum speed for the Internet. We believe that this is a solvable problem. HOW : Over the last 2 years and based on field research and work, we have developed an array of mostly open-source social innovation projects. Each of those projects has a dedicated page on Riipen, but this listing serves as a quick summary: UNI  is a low-cost device (and soon an Android application) that allows Wi-Fi access to everyone, everywhere, even in areas without reliable or safe internet. With a simple click to upload, Slides, PDFs, videos, Moodle, databases, or even copies of entire websites can be made available offline for free. Project Codex  uses AI to translate medical databases in several languages and regions to facilitate international operations. It can be accessed via a mobile site or a tool such as WhatsApp. The Medical Codex project aims to provide an easy-to-use tool that can help coordinate medical equipment between countries and to quickly translate medical terms across multiple languages while accounting for local variations such as brands and generics. Project   Symmetry  is an application using AI to accelerate Wikipedia's translation efforts in less-represented languages (less than 1 million articles) by building a semantic understanding of similar articles in various Wikipedia languages and providing relevant translations for missing information Project Scraper  is a Google Chrome extension that enables offline access to a web page or an entire website with just a few clicks. Project Mesh  is an application that enables Android devices to connect and send files and messages over long distances without requiring internet connectivity. Project Cybercafe  is software that runs on an Android device, enabling smart hotspot functionality for the sharing of internet connectivity with other Wi-Fi devices. Recognizing costs and other restrictions that may exist in our targeted regions, several controls are in place to allow a high level of control over how a user’s hotspot device is used for internet access.

PRIMED For Life Market Research

  Problem Statement:  Think back to one of your life’s most significant periods of change. Perhaps you became a new parent or supported a child through a major developmental change. Maybe you entered a new educational milestone, or just entered the work force. Maybe you had to navigate through corporate restructuring or changed careers altogether. Did you thrive through this change, or did you feel as though you were just surviving? While change is an inevitable fact of life, many people do not have the necessary tools to know how to transition effectively through situational change and as result most of us become survivors instead of thrivers.   Current State:  PRIMED™ for Life Education Inc. (PLE) supports individuals, institutions, and organizations navigate through significant changes by addressing the transition experience using an evidence-based transformative health and well-being framework. When an individual or organization is faced with a difficult transition there are two likely outcomes; thrive or survive. Once taught, PRIMED™ individuals thrive. Not only do they thrive, but they also lead others to thrive too, thus enabling the desired outcome the change requires. And since PRIMED™ is a framework individuals/organizations retain the tools required to become leaders for the next challenge that lies ahead.   Current Product:  The PRIMED™ framework can be delivered utilizing various delivery techniques (one-on-one coaching, workshop/cohort learning, self-guided) on various platforms (in-person, online, app-led). At present Dr. Bolt has delivered PRIMED™ as a workshop to various students and educational leaders with great success.   Results (theoretical or realized): Individual · Reduced stress ·                     Higher job / work satisfaction ·                     Stronger performance Organizations/Institutions ·                     Reduced turnover/higher retention ·                     Improved onboarding ·                     Faster realization of expected performance targets post an organizational change   The Ask:  The primary need for PLE is an analysis of the potential markets/vertical to address first. Since the framework can be easily catered to suit the needs of “anyone undergoing a significant change”, the possibilities seem endless. As such it is important for the Company to select a market with a low barrier to entry, strong margins, and minimal start-up costs. At present time PLE has identified the following user groups that would benefit the most from the PRIMED™ Framework: Corporate Settings (particularly those in the midst of significant organizational change such as a merger or acquisition, a restructuring, etc.) Academia (for students transitioning from high-school to University; or teachers supporting students in transition) Athletes & Coaches (up to and including professional sports) Performing Artists (particularly those navigating from pre-professional to professional work) Parents (particularly parents supporting a child navigating a developmental or educational change) PLE is open to suggestions past these markets. It is also open to suggestions on the delivery method best suited to meet the need of that market.
