Here are more information from the IT & membership model of Koopernikus

1. Big news! On Sunday (May 30th) we celebrated the founding of Koopernikus with a delicious buffet & interesting presentations in La Cuisine in Zurich
2. The spark jumps beyond the founding group: We only invited a small group of food companies- but 5 of them registered after the event to want to become part of Koopernikus.
3. We presented the IT vision of Koopernikus with the 3 steps: (1) B2B marketplace, (2) networking of logistics, merchandise management systems & online shops of companies & (3) B2C marketplace
4. We have also presented the membership model in order to best finance Koopernikus. Members receive services in IT, logistics & communication. The monthly fee differs according to sales & company category

1. We welcome Laura back to our team! After a 1 year hiatus to await the technical development of Lightwave, Laura returns to help with project management, public relations and finances.
2. Each of us has chosen his or her task from the list of tasks for the Koopernikus Platform & Lightwave in general. Isa, Laura and Johannes went through the selected tasks in order to get a feeling of what kind of processes we are facing.
3. Have sent an application to the Prototype Fund from the Mercator Foundation. To promote the development of the tools of the participatory budget based on a blockchain and to integrate it in the marketplace (B2C) over the long term.
4. Johannes exchanged ideas with Patricia Matzdorf from WWF / One Planet Hub. Patricia has offered as soon as we start test runs with the B2C marketplace and the participatory budget, she supports us as a communication multiplier in the WWF / One Planet Hub network.

1. Raphi and Johannes visited Beat and Mara from PicoBio in Dietikon to get to know them better. Beat gave us a tour of his impressive warehouse. Afterwards we had lunch with him and his daughter Mara with a long exchange about Koopernikus, digitization, communities, certification of food & the food market in general.
2. With Beat we worked out that an interface between PicoBio's ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and the Koopernikus database makes sense to simplify data transfer.
3. Members of Koopernikus use different merchandise management systems/ERPs. This means that in parallel to building the basic platform, we will need time and energy to program the interfaces to their respective merchandise management systems/ERPs (If it exists) for a successful data transfer.
4. We have created a list of components that are needed to successfully launch Koopernikus to assess how much time and money we will need

1. Here is an overview of the members of Koopernikus

4. Johannes exchanged ideas with David from Gut Rheinau about the digital infrastructure and possible business models of Koopernikus. David sends the whole product list in order to have all the data together once.
