Compelling questions and innovation challenges exploring the boundaries of what's possible.

Challenge Climate Action Knowledge Map (2026)

An open, graph-based knowledge system that makes regenerative design patterns — from permaculture to indigenous land management to biodiversity conservation — accessible, composable, and actionable for communities worldwide.

Challenge Innovation Advisory Council Dashboard (2026)

An interactive AI-augmented visualization platform that surfaces scenario trajectories and enables long-term strategic foresight through multi-model deliberation.

Challenge Perceptiosphere: A Sovereign Knowledge Architecture (2026)

An open-source, AI-augmented knowledge architecture that preserves institutional wisdom, enables composable collaboration, and maintains contextual integrity across generations.

Challenge Sovereign Distributed Energy and AI for Canada (2026)

Building domestic AI infrastructure that leverages Canada's geographic and energy advantages to retain talent, reduce dependency on foreign compute, and prepare for a climate-shifted future.

Challenge Work-Integrated Learning for the AI-Native Workforce (2026)

Redesigning co-op and experiential learning for an era where AI automates entry-level roles, producing AI-native professionals who create value rather than compete with automation.

Question HMW: Create a Context Economy? (2025)

Building a labour economy based on licensing dynamic knowledge context rather than selling hours, while preserving dignity and preventing new forms of exclusion.

Question HMW: Build a Digital Sovereignty Economy? (2025)

Structuring economics and legal frameworks around dynamic knowledge context, where individuals license their AI agents' trained patterns while avoiding static decay and catastrophic liability.

Question HMW: Build a Living Archive? (2025)

Designing knowledge systems that decouple institutional wisdom from individual tenure, ensuring knowledge survives departure and evolves with every contribution.

Question HMW: Deploy Socratic AI Partners? (2025)

Designing AI education partners that accelerate learning without removing productive struggle or creating dependency on AI-mediated environments.

Question HMW: Transcend Bounded Rationality Through Human-AI Collaboration? (2025)

Designing collaboration that extends human capability without eroding our capacity for independent judgment or triggering an energy crisis.
