Innovative Sand
motivation
Our main aim is to contribute to a world in which well-being is promoted on a broad scale.
We want to achieve this on a basis of mutual respect and cooperation.
The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) “has developed a working definition of a ‘green economy’ as one that results in improved human well-being and social equity, while significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities”.
Our objective is in accordance with all of these aspects. Using solar power to transmute desert sand into different kinds of constructing materials, enables countries with deserts to participate at an innovative economic development. Producing their own ‘green’ construction materials is a win-win project with the potential to help close the North-South divide.
vision
One small jump for a quantum particle, one giant leap for mankind.
In our everyday lives we often have a sense that mankind’s progress is linear and somehow predictable. But looking closer, we see many ‘minor’ turning points that have opened up whole new chapters in the great story.
We believe that we are furthering a dynamic process that is evolving in multiple ways. Cooperation
