network ‘In today’s media saturated world, Ideas are the new global currency and lightning fast
innovation it’s fuel’. Riduna Co. expects the ‘..special projects vehicle..’, the Riduna Institute

Headroom speaks fondly of the time the Riduna Co. founders spent on the Island in 2015, and
hit on their lucrative digital format. ‘The Island is a unique place, and the Global Collaboration
Centre is crafted to stimulate diversity of knowledge development, supported by cutting edge
technology and specialist expertise’. Riduna Co. will act as host and retain a complex mixture

European Super Grid
Riduna Institute mission statement:
- To nurture entrepreneurial ideas.
- To find practical sustainable alternatives to fossil fuel for the EU & global power.
- Manage and monitor the European Super Grid on behalf of the European member
states providing real time inter country power distribution and load balancing.
Riduna Institute is working with the European Union to find an holistic solution to our
future needs of energy and a real long lasting design framework for our cities as well as its
buildings. This collaboration is a fundamental aim of the Riduna Island projects. We continue
to lobby and use our media influence to move towards a European Super Power Grid.
Collaboration with the European Union is essential to finding a long lasting solution to
energy, carbon and a sustainable urban environment’

Choice of Environment
The Island landscapes support innovation
as metaphors for the process of creativity
(establish a beachhead, forest of ideas,
venture trails) This setting could be a City,
a Building or a Floorplate. Our research
shows that higher performing businesses
place more emphasis on Learn/Focus/
Collaborate/Socialize. The Island analogy
takes this further augmenting spaces
programmed for pure ‘Work’. As on an
expedition into new territories teams need
places to Recharge/Resource/Reflect)

The Techno-Trekker
Evolved from the ‘Knowledge Worker’ the ‘Technology Trekker’ maps data, human behaviour and
multiple skill sets to innovate. The Technology
Trekker chooses their own steps and eschews the
career ladder. The Trekker seeks diverse and multiple environments to meet and make.
