I could imagine starting with a proposal for a "peer production research and development" centre - as a not for ( speculative ) profit , use value oriented research centre,

combined with heterodox economics ( including alternative vector spaces / alternative currencies / alternative resource allocation information systems ) 
as to channel such new development in a way that does not increase inflation on existing currencies.

I could imagine such research centre as a autonomous network of spaces,
yet collaborating with some existing design and engineering clusters,

and/or universities - such as in Oslo : http://www.uio.no/english/ ; 
Trondheim : http://www.ntnu.edu/ ; ... 

and in collaboration with other Nordic Countries via a proposal to some Nordic Council bodies , not for direct funding under the council, but as a deliberation approach to invite these countries, including Norway's Sovereign Fund, to diversify further in local peer production approaches, while maintaining strategic resources owned locally

Subject: Hi Michel - setting up peer production investment scheme in Norway
To: Michel Bauwens <michelsub2004@gmail.com>


Hi Michel

I see a lot of potential in setting up an investment portfolio for peer production 
offered for Norway - for its long term local post-industrial development.

I could imagine several billion could be invested in such scheme, 
which takes into account alternative forms of economics then a speculative capitalist approach.

------------------

In Relation to Norway, and the 500 Billion Sovereign Fund built on oil wealth.

On Norwegian News, in English at around 20 minutes :


excerpts :

Investing "in your own economy".

"Direct investment in your resources" - and into your neighbors. ( such as Iceland )

"Its all about the means of production"

"The stock market are shrinking because people in the US and Europe have so much debt"

"There is no way of diversifying yourself out of risk if the environment itself is risky"

"China invests in what it needs for its economy - such as mines in Africa - "

"What kind of economy do we want Norway to look like to be a productive economy"

You will find the interview with Michael starting after 19 minutes,
lasting 8+ minutes.

It was sent on primed time on the state national channel NRK2 (the
serious documentary channel), in a workdays daily debate program that I
record every day.

http://www.nrk.no/nett-tv/klipp/713548/

The meeting yesterday in the most popular debate house in Oslo, the
House of Literature just behind the Royal Castle, drew a record 400
listeners, making it necessary to set up a video transferral to another
hall in addition.

His co-debaters were good with serious arguments.

Arno
