WHO WE ARE

Born Global

We believe in Circular Bioeconomies.We start with real waste-streams as an energy feedstock and then we design
out efficiency waste everywhere we find it in our closed-loop zero-waste project platforms.
We believe in Process Innovation.We are systems thinkers and realize technology is only one part of the greater
whole when your aim is transformational change at the global economic level.
We believe in Public-Private Partnerships.We start with partnerships with governments and communities to turn
one-off projects into organized state-wide clusters that drive real community development and economic growth.
We believe in Collaboration. Ambitious plans and aspirations for the future require partnerships and piloting for
replicability. This is what creates the trajectory for systemic change and shared learning is the best way to create
replicability and global market acceptance.
We believe this is an idea whose time has come…

WHAT IS A LIVING LAB?
The Living Lab

This active project in Maine allows the creation of industrial co-hosts, such
as data centers, organic farming, aquaculture or agriculture. Born Global sees
enormous potential for Jonesboro to play a critical role in the Bioeconomy
as a host site for the first Living Lab in the US.
Vacation Destination: A pristine coastal environment, only 1.5 hours from
Bar Harbor, one of Maine’s largest tourist attractions.
Hardtech Incubator: Located next to the University of Maine- including
the Blueberry Research Center. Maine Maritime Academy- a world-class power
engineering program and hard-tech lab.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Start with Exisiting Biomass to Energy Plants

EXISTING SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY
INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS INVOLVEMENT
Create Thermal Cohosts: Engage Local Expertise:
Energy: Greenhouse & Organic Farming Universities and Schools
24.5 MW Biomass Power Plant Aquaculture (Shrimp, Salmon, Retail/ Shops Recreational
Fuel Source:Woody Biomass
Sable Fish) Activities

"The ability to use power plant waste water to grow shrimp could be a hugely beneficial project. Growing shrimp in bio-floc systems with an emphasis on
the use of recycled water is already one of the most environmentally friendly forms of protein production. Low in fat, and rich in Omega-3s, this method
produces a reliable, anti-biotic free, locally grown, meat source, reduces the demand for wild caught shrimp, and lowers the pressure on marine fisheries.
Success in this venture could not only lead to economic success, but to improvements in agricultural wastes, fisheries, human health, and local economies,
in and beyond the State of Maine. As such, I am honored to be a part of it." - Patrick Watson, Shrimp Farming Expert

REPLICATION Biomass to Energy Plants
Accelerators/ Incubators
Graphene Corridor Clusters

Corridors of Innovation Ecosystems

How do you build a Silicon Valley from scratch? - Well, you don't.

To build a regional innovation ecosystem today, you need to start with what is
already there and use a structured systems approach to integrate the right mix
of physical infrastructure, regional policies, innovation incubators/ accelerators
and simplified funding.

This is the Graphene Corridor Vision. An innovation ecosystem for the
creation of a commercialized Bioeconomy. Working with state economic
development organizations, key stakeholders can work together to
implement a series of initiatives to foster and bolster innovation throughout
this east coast corridor.

Expansion of the Graphene Corridor to the west coast and the Great Lakes
region is easily achieved given its base of biomass to energy plants and innovation
incubators/ accelerators already in place. Our vision for Jonesboro Living Lab
is to play an enormous role as a destination to demonstrate the power of the
bioeconomy just as towns and cities in Silicon Valley have in the story of global
technology advancement.

HEALTH & WELLNESS PROGRAM Spring

Unique Experiences Year Round

The breathtaking beauty and diverse outdoor recreational activities make
Jonesboro a place for all seasons. The Living Lab becomes a tourism
destination for all seasons.
Celebrations and festivals around holidays and changing seasons are an integral
part of keeping visitors coming back time after time.
From the enormous cruise traffic generated in the summer months by the
neighboring town of Bar Harbor to Fall hay-rides and Halloween activities then
transformed into a magical Winter Wonderland with wreath-making and sleigh
rides returning once again to the rebirth of spring and all its delicacies.

HEALTH & WELLNESS PROGRAM

Maine's current tourism campaign to attract visitors emphasizes its 'Be Original'
inspiring theme. The Born Global approach complements this program and
expands its appeal to the Maine Office of Tourism's core target audiences.
In addition, Born Global's Bioeconomy focus and messaging engages and
attracts businesses and Millennials in a manner that refines and amplifies
current efforts to help audiences see Maine differently,as a Health and Wellness
destination.
