Building on this conversation and the shifting landscape from grants to revenue-focused regenerative growth, I’m sharing a big vision for building out a bioregional economy through this portfolio business plan.
The highlight of this plan calls for investment in seven interconnected businesses with different technology stacks, including community currencies and local mesh networks. The design is modular so that additional businesses and ReFi solutions can be integrated over time.
This plan ambitiously calls for €10 million invested over 10 years, BUT we can already accomplish a lot with a much smaller amount—€50-100K—through a RevNet pilot this spring. We can leverage our existing properties and network of projects now that Rifai Sicilia has a legal association and both traditional and on-chain banking capabilities. It would also be great to integrate with the work already moving on the ground with Silvi and Sarafu, as well as Regen Commons and the new regenerative funding mechanisms with Octant V2.
The overall goal is to start planning bioregional regeneration strategies through bioregional business plans and asset mapping sessions. This will integrate all these elements and attract investment while delivering regenerative yields to both financial and human capital investors.
Feedback is welcome, and the goal is to continue refining the plan while training others to create their own bioregional business plans. I can include a prompting guide for how others can develop their own plans if anyone is interested.
