Questions & Answers

What is the Consortium

Identity of the model and its difference from conventional organizational forms.

What is the Human — Earth — Noosphere Consortium?

This is an international architecture of joint activities in which independent organizations, developers, investors, experts and government agencies combine their capabilities to create market products and implement Russian and international projects. The consortium does not replace the participants and does not absorb their structures: it creates rules, project mechanisms and an environment for joint work.

Is the Consortium one company or one organization?

No. The consortium is not being built as a single company, but as a system of interaction between independent participants. For specific projects, separate legal, contractual and design structures may be used, appropriate to the task and jurisdiction.

Why is the consortium form used?

Because for complex intersectoral and international tasks, the compatibility of competencies, technologies, capital and markets is more important than the creation of another centralized organization. The consortium format allows you to combine the necessary resources for a specific project, while maintaining the independence of the participants.

How is this model different from a regular consortium?

In the classical sense, a consortium is often created around one deal or one large project. Here, the Consortium is seen as a permanent architecture within which different project configurations, products, markets and international initiatives can emerge successively.

How does a Consortium differ from an association, club or accelerator?

An association or club primarily brings together participants; an accelerator accelerates the development of individual projects. The consortium is focused on joint activities: it connects technologies, competencies, investments, customers and markets and, on this basis, forms specific projects and products.

Is the Consortium an investment fund?

No. The consortium itself is not an investment fund. It can form investment-prepared projects, attract investors and organize financing models, but the specific investment structure is determined separately for each project.

What is the main product of the Consortium?

The main product is not the association of participants itself, but the ability to transform knowledge, technologies and competencies into market products, joint assets and projects that are difficult or impossible to create within a single organization.
