The XXI century will present significant challenges and opportunities to governments, companies, and citizens in the areas of resilience, sustainability, efficiency, self-sufficiency, security, disaster preparedness, and sustainable health. Potential megatrends such as regional population growth, changing demographics, urban growth, a growing global middle class, economic volatility, higher dependence on digital technologies, regional wars, pandemic risks, climate change, depletion of natural resources, extreme natural disasters, extreme pollution, exponential innovation of technologies, jointly with the inadequate long-term planning of global supply chain systems, may put cities, businesses, and communities under extreme stress in the future. Some of these trends may impact regional economic development, global food/energy/water supply chains, migration patterns, public health systems, national security, and the probability of existential risks for humanity. Consequently, governments, companies, and citizens must become better informed about potential strategies, solutions, and ideas that may be applied to face current and future challenges in the XXI century. Hence, Exxiste.com provides frameworks, intelligence systems, strategies, and potential solutions to develop resilient, efficient, sustainable, healthy, eco-friendly, and self-sufficient cities, companies, and communities. On the following list are included some of the most relevant indicators and trends that justify the frameworks and solutions that may be used to face some of the challenges and opportunities of the XXI century.

Exxiste.com provides the following framework which prioritizes three objectives that may be applied to decrease the complexity in decision-making processes, obtain benefits sooner, and facilitate the implementation of solutions for citizens, companies, and governments in order to create more resilient, sustainable, healthy, and intelligent communities. The framework is integrated by the following three objectives, sectors, and processes:

Exxiste.com is a global initiative that will apply the UN's scheme of geographic regions and subregions (United Nations Geoscheme System). However, the search results will be listed depending on the location of users and the platform may provide the option to sort results per state, province, municipality, or city depending on the number of results available.

The challenges and opportunities derived from the aforementioned megatrends were the main drivers of consolidating and developing Exxiste.com. One of the main objectives is to provide an unbiased and open knowledge system by applying innovative information systems to identify, understand, develop, and apply long-term solutions for governments, companies, investors, and citizens that are willing to create resilient, efficient, sustainable, eco-friendly, healthy, and intelligent societies. In an era of disinformation, misinformation, and information overload (eg fake news, biased internet information, etc) information users need high-quality and unbiased information systems for their decision-making processes. Exxiste.com intends to support citizens, companies, and governments in their efforts to find simplified information and new perspectives used in their decision-making and investment processes. Furthermore, Exxiste.com understands how pandemics, climate change, natural disasters, and regional conflicts, among others, may impact not only one sector but several economic sectors. Therefore, the solutions for these challenges may also need to be applied holistically considering several sectors in order to avoid unexpected results. This context may also increase the complexity of decision-making processes at the time of selecting and investing in solutions for specific situations. Derived from these challenges, Exxiste.com has created an information framework to simplify decision-making processes related to the most important challenges of the coming years. Consequently, the platform prioritizes solutions mainly around prevention, resource conservation, demand reduction, operational efficiency, cost reduction, reliability, prevention, resilience, zero-waste design, cleaner systems, and high standards, among other concepts, that may be applied across several sectors. Some of the most important objectives of the platform are described in the following points:

Finally, although the initiative has a social cause and provides social benefits, which is the main objective of nonprofits, Exxiste.com wants to use the forces of good capitalism to improve and self-sustain the initiative. Exxiste.com believes that good capitalism, and its power of innovation, may help the world face future challenges and mitigate some of the existential risks that humanity may encounter in the future (eg climate, pandemics, unconventional disasters etc). However, it is the type of capitalism that protects intellectual and private property; it is the economic system that rewards and protects innovators & inventors; it is the type of capitalism that avoids corruption and creates trust and order; it is the one that has a holistic approach that understands long-term value; and last but not least, it is the capitalist system that understands the value of prevention, preparedness, efficiency, good governance, innovation, sustainability, and resilience for investors and society.

The importance of this initiative is related to the urgent need to develop efficient, resilient, sustainable, healthy, secure, eco-friendly, and competitive societies to face potential events that may have a significant impact on the world. The global framework was designed by taking into consideration potential megatrends that may affect our lives, homes, and cities during the XXI century. The complexity of this century, combined with the opportunities of science and technology, creates the need and opportunity to develop more efficient, resilient, secure, eco-friendly, healthier, and sustainable countries. By smartly connecting strategies and technologies with governments, citizens, and the private sector, we can create more efficient, resilient, healthy, eco-friendly, and sustainable regions. These needs and opportunities were also the driving forces to develop Exxiste.com.

Consequently, our mission focuses on providing a global and holistic intelligence system (AI - Ruled-Based Systems) to facilitate the understanding of solutions by integrating concepts in the area of intelligent/smart design, resilience, efficiency, climate adaptation, eco-friendly strategies, sustainability, artificial intelligence, and systems thinking. By design, our platform will provide the flexibility of finding national and local solutions according to the sector, organizational system, and location to reduce the complexity of finding the right solution for specific circumstances. Last but not least, global problems require global collaboration and local actions based on mutual respect and understanding. Therefore, Exxiste.com believes that all countries in the world may need to trade solutions to accelerate the process of developing efficient, resilient, healthy, secure, and sustainable cities. But each country is different, and in turn, each country may have different goals and cities of different sizes and needs. Exxiste.com will apply an intelligent design by taking into consideration these factors and by integrating specific objectives and strategies to provide a better way to understand the benefits and risks of solutions for global challenges.
