The Silk Roads of Minds: the OBOR, BRI, CPEC and the gigantically huge and global Belt and Road project of China is now pointing to large scale open debates and discussions to arrive at collaborative understanding amongst participating and non-participating nations alike so they can all prepare their local citizens with advance global age skills to create smart and workable citizenry. Trade wars are not the long term solutions; it’s the need of knowledgeable and skilled citizenry capable to stand up to global competition and create exportability advantage. This demands massive mobilization of entrepreneurialism and deployment of technology to create non-stop productivity. On July 24th 2019, in a non-stop series of quality discussions on economic development spanning 24 hours via live streaming around the globe the World Bank adopted this proven working model on how to engage and create massive worldwide awareness in the shortest period of time with maximum impact and delivered Econothon , details on Google The application of this model is of course a starting point as more upcoming global and regional organizations of the world now need more advanced stages of deployments with special applications and modifications allowing these models to advance their agenda on far more progressive basis. The rise of the restless citizenry is causing chaos around the world; while creation of local grassroots prosperity blossoms harmony, but where and how do you start? A new universe of new pathways and opportunities are hidden within the deeper understanding of the following key national and global-age issues A year ago, twice in Pakistan in 2018,Expothon a Canadian think-tank on ‘national mobilization of entrepreneurialism’ in an alliance with Octara a top management training organization and a Division of TCS logistics Pakistan also delivered twice some very rich and powerful programs and carried out non-stop live streaming debates round the clock across the nation and selected parties around the world, details on Google These deployments models prove a very solid start; firstly, congratulations to World Bank on taking this global initiative and secondly, the vision of Khalid Awan,Chairman of TCS Pakistan and Team Octara to recognize the potential and hidden powers of such deployments. Now the time has come to table the simpler, but far more advanced in reach, almost free but far more engaging and technologically advance to achieve global attention in the fastest times. This is all about brand new thinking with massive deployment strategies backed with rich contents, authoritative substance and high quality participants. Expothon during the last decade has been mastering this area of expertise as national mobilization and deployment strategies become critically essential to launch any sizeable major program towards grassroots prosperity or local economic development. Nations can transform their top small and midsize 1000-10,000 enterprises on a fast track basis to stand up to global exportability standards of quality goods and services with worldwide access. Caution; not be confused with current export promotion bureaus mandated around the world, still locked in mid-century style correspondences and bureaucracies with old websites. These are advance level mobilization and deployments laced with Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Block Chain and freely available technologies to smart enterprises and agile nations of the world.
