| I have a dream, in which everyone will be rich. But not necessarily with money in the bank, that is only used for speculation. We will be rich in experiences that feed our bodies, hearts, minds and souls, that lift us up and give us the confidence to express ourselves and be our best. This is the good news: we will all live like Kings and Queens. Liberated from the downsides of the material world, we will be stepping in and out our Digital Palaces and gardens, where we can share and celebrate a new renaissance for mankind. A better mankind. Leading enriching lifestyles, in which we care for each other and the world around us. Garsett Larosse |

Please select the description that fits you best:
(if no description fits you, please forward this proposal to someone who may be interested)
I am an individual looking for an enriching lifestyle
I am a knowledge economy entrepreneur
I am a representative from a company, interested in enriching business solutions and innovation
I am a representative from a local authority or government, interested in enriching policies

To all individuals looking for an enriching lifestyle
We live in an interdependent world with many challenges.
Imagine a society in which noone is excluded from participating in an enriching way: the enriching society.
Imagine an enriching economy as its engine, with TeleCommunities and TeleCommunity Centers, as its cornerstones.
Ecotopia and its spin-off The WebAssistant Company have been working out this vision since the start of our company in 1993 (see History of TeleCommunities).
You can be part of the TeleCommunity revolution and join us today.
Go to the WebAssistant TeleCommunity (or another TeleCommunity that accepts new members) and register for a free account.
Then start organizing your worldview, focus on what you think is important and benchmark with others using collaborative filtering.
Use the unique TeleCommunity toolkit to contextualize information into WebProducts, that can be traded online.
In other words, invest in a high quality, digital lifestyle, and share your insights in various ways, as part of a gift economy or in a TeleCommunity Exchange, with optional trade in real or virtual currencies.

For knowledge economy entrepreneurs
The new economy of intangibles offers exciting opportunities for those who would like to develop a new business. We are only in the very beginning of an era in which creativity and empathy will lead to a wide range of products and services that we have never heard of before.
Created by experience engineers and 'digital palace designers', users will be able to enjoy quality content tailored to their needs, ready to be plugged in into their digital worlds with just a click.
Some of this content in the form of various WebProducts will be free, but more specialized and/or artistic content will need to be paid for, enabling professional knowledge workers and artists to make a living from producing such content and trading it in the Global Exchange Trading System.
People interested in developing new forms of intangible products or services are invited to become a member of the WebAssistant TeleCommunity, where we experiment with various new possibilities.

For representatives from companies, interested in enriching business solutions, innovation and training
The world population is rapidly expanding; technology and markets are quickly evolving, increasing competition on a global scale.
This situation brings many new opportunities, but also challenges companies to be innovative and efficient. One thing is certain: the economy of tomorrow will be knowledge driven, and only the companies that can create, process and harness knowledge in their business processes will succeed.
The European Union - a leading economic market in the world - is preparing guidelines for intellectual capital reporting. Do you know how to calculate and manage your intellectual capital? Do you know how to add structure to your knowledge flows so that knowledge is captured and anchored in your business processes? Do you know how to set up processes that are flexible enough to adapt themselves to changing circumstances, harnessing collective intelligence, within the company, and in collaboration with your stakeholders?
Chances are that you already have an intranet to connect your employees. Now is the time to look into extended intranet solutions, that add real value to your company, and that help you to innovate, to manage your intellectual capital, and report it on your balance sheets.
Be part of a group of innovative companies already working around this, and be prepared for the new European guidelines and legislation, so you too can benefit from them.
For those companies, active in the knowledge sector and service industry, there's a clear need to be involved as soon as possible. Many types of business, such as entertainment, publishing, consultancy, training and research, will continue to change rapidly. But also other companies have a clear advantage organizing better training and access to various procedures, reducing their cost of poor performance. Learn where the market is going and be among the first to come with new products that satisfy the user's needs, while making your company processes transparent and efficient.
In order to create the necessary platform to guide your knowledge flows in the right direction, contact info@webassistant.com, with a short description of your interests.

For local authorities and (regional or national) governments, interested in enriching policies
In a quickly globalizing world, politicians and civil servants face the responsibility for making the right decisions in public affairs, but they can not escape the economic reality. New jobs have to be created so that everyone can participate in the welfare, an infrastructure has to be maintained that enables maximum economic transactions in a sustainable way, avoiding the traffic jams, waste and general environmental degradation.
TeleCommunities and TeleCommunity Centers - the neighborhood offices of the 21st century - offer an inexpensive, integrated solution for the major problems that societies face, in rich AND in developing countries.
It is therefore important to set up pilot projects in close cooperation with all stakeholders, and develop the secondary knowledge infrastructure that the world needs. Complementing the primary knowledge infrastructure, consisting of universities and their spin-offs, corporate R&D-centers and political think tanks, such a secondary knowledge infrastructure is the best way to stimulate bottom-up innovation and the creation of high quality lifestyles, with clusters of local economic activities, nested in global alliances.
To obtain a toolkit that will support you in this process, contact info@webassistant.com, with a short description of your project.
In addition, you will be able to use the TeleCommunity platform for decision support in all kinds topics. Cabinets may wish to use it to obtain an overview on topics as complex as international trade and politics, using customized News Desks with collaborative filtering and/or community blogs.

For research or educational organisations, interested in knowledge acceleration and knowledge management
We offer you a platform with which you can accelerate knowledge creation and knowledge sharing with at least a factor 10.
Based on social constructivist learning theory, the TeleCommunity platform starts with the individual worldview, and then allows every user to build insights and contribute to collective intelligence in flexible ways: thematic knowledge centers, WebLibraries, Innovation Portals, eTraining centers, and complete knowledge management solutions can be worked out on the TeleCommunity platform in record time.
Collaborate in private workspaces with version control, publish to the TeleCommunity with various trust levels - members only - and/or collaborate with external stakeholders. Various applications of collective intelligence can be worked out in a transparent way, using powerful search and keyword association enabling the information to find you, instead of the other way around.
Structure your information into various content frameworks that can be easily published into WebProducts that you can send others with a few clicks. Optional protection with passwords assures confidentiality.
Create your TeleCommunity of practice today, and build an information refinery, tailored to your needs. One administrator can manage the TeleCommunity, retaining all created knowledge within the community.
Make tacit knowledge explicit in conversations and by structuring it in content frameworks that can be shared.
Use the WebProducts that are being developed as basis of WebCourses with which trainer and trainee can measure their progress.
For more information and educational pricing, contact info@webassistant.com.

For NGOs, interested in enriching issues (social, environmental, spiritual added value,...)
The TeleCommunity Project was created with a vision to benefit the world at large, by creating levers that contribute to sustainable development and an enriching society (see History of TeleCommunities). We think that by helping to create an enriching economy, in which noone is excluded, we can create the engine of an enriching society, and we want to collaborate with you, by providing you with a TeleCommunity platform that you can customize to your needs.
To develop your TeleCommunity and creating solutions with it that benefit your users, we offer examples and a manual.
We have a vision of communities that can be connected over the Internet, and in which the participants can trade knowledge and culture products in tolerant and enriching ways. Together with a group of online pioneers, we have developed the TeleCommunity platform and the Global Federation of TeleCommunities to support our common work.
You can become a member of the Federation and start using the Enriching TeleCommunity for free.
When you are ready to fly on your own, we will assist you in setting up your own TeleCommunity at cost price. If you are a Foundation or a rich NGO, please consider paying a bit more so we can roll out our global network of TeleCommunities more rapidly.
For more information, please contact info@webassistant.com with a short description of your organization.

For investors, looking for a great investment opportunity
Ecotopia.biz, the business development company that is part of the Ecotopia virtual corporation, has transferred all intellectual rights concerning the TeleCommunity platform and related Internet projects to The WebAssistant Company, whose founders control 100% of the shares.
We are interested in working together with investors who can help us develop our vision, which consists of becoming a cornerstone in the enriching society by connecting thousands of TeleCommunities in informal and formal markets for WebProducts and other intangibles.
We believe that after having invested years in R&D we have a unique, powerful, secure, scalable platform that will benefit the world and ourselves with social, environmental and economic added value. This is a great time to build with us the foundations of an enriching economy, especially if you sympathize with our vision. You should be aware of the fact that there are risks involved in this venture. You should be prepared to lose (part of) your investment, although we will continue to do our very best to create a win-win-win situation.
To prove that we are not naive, we can show business and marketing plans. We also work with an international investment broker, who can mediate in future cooperation. For now, we invite interested parties to call Garsett Larosse - tel. + 32 3 3129373 (skype: garsett), CEO and communication manager, for a quick review of the possibilities.
