Owning the value chain
To bring down prices on essential goods as much as possible, it’s crucial to own production. Innovative and green products can be sold on the market for a profit, while being supplied to internal projects at a fraction of the market price.
The manufacturing will have a strong focus on automation and decentralization, that prioritizes smaller and more local factories or perhaps even on-site creation of products right where they are needed.
1. Construction materials
The most important product being tools and materials for construction of housing. Insulation, lumber or cladding are just some of the products suitable for production. But also more complicated systems for heating, toilets and water treatment. Basically anything that goes into creating self-sustainable housing communities.
2. Green produce
The more fresh produce a household can create on its own, the less reliant it is on global supply chains. It reduces emissions, and proximity to green foliage is well known to reduce stress. Sharphill will explore several options for small-scale agriculture that requires little effort or knowledge from its users.
3. Community shops
To give our tenants the freedom they deserve requires more than just a roof. Simple things like locally produced food, clothing or perhaps even toilet paper. These are all necessities that can be supplied in one way or the other. Second hand shops, repair shops or smart supermarkets with in-house microfactories.
4. Logistics platform
To get the best product to the right user at the appropriate time for the lowest price is a true art form. Juggling all of these factors require an efficient digital marketplace optimized by autonomous AI-agents.
