Why
Because innovation doesn't happen in silos & sustainability issues are countless. Ingenuity lies in all of us and too often individual endeavors hit a brick-wall (protectionism, financial barriers, etc.). We believe collective (crowd based) ingenuity and development can accelerate transition of innovative concepts towards sustainable solutions. The potential for crowd based innovation is huge. Let's use our top-down understanding of issues that surround us, and stimulate bottom-up development as a crowd.

What
B-STaR is a foundation positioned as a platform, owned by the crowd. It supports ideation & collaborative concept development for sustainable solutions to regional challenges (resolve) linked to global goals [SDG-2030]
B-STaR breaks down broad goals into bite-size technology based solutions, and connects 'crowd-based-concepts' with SME's, local government, private sector stakeholders and local change-makers, in order to turn these concepts into resolve based Innovation.
These innovations (tech improvement, products, services) can be implemented as 'sponsored projects' or 'new (social) business' in a stakeholder- collaborative driven by the resolve it sets out to accomplish.
Help drive Sustainable Development from the ground up!
