Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)/Questions & (tentative) Answers, Exchange:

Question 1: A Regional Startup? You must have a good sense of humour!

Answer: Of course I do, but not as much as Swedish people! Can you name one Swedish music band? You can
probably only name one actually: ABBA. Sweden with a population of 8 million and one famous band ABBA, managed
to storm the world of Sharing music with Spotify. This fuels SourcePacifique team to be actors of the startup space.

Q2: Cost of life in the South Pacific (PnG) is prohibitive! You cannot attract talent !

A: Untrue. I have been first AirBnB guests in several amazing wantok families. They offers ideal accommodation packages: safe, affordable $50/night including free laundry,
internet, highly educated host eager to assist with their network. Second, there are a lot of talents in the South
Pacific. We believe people of South West Pacific have the sharing economy embedded in their DNA.

Q3: You operate a digital startup, Internet speed is going to be a big problem right ?

A: Not really. A vast majority of apps work offline and connected device have high level of data storage easily

synchronized over wifi, Bluetooth or 3/4G. We have no intention to make the next broadband intensive Youtube.
Furthermore, it’s a chicken and egg problem really. Because of the digital transformation, the public and private
sector will continue to invest in infrastructure and clients eager to look beyond monopolistic suppliers e.g. APEC 2018

High Altitude Drones hovering at 30km with a telecommunication range of 500km are being piloted and developed in PnG

For international travelers, at least Vodafone Australia, with a $60/month sim card you can roam as if from home for $5/day extra charge (use your monthly 10giga data, 300minutes per months. Not for PnG domestic calls yet you have WhatsApp in case)

More importantly we used Zoom (a Lighter version of Skype) and had several rounds or high quality video conferencies between PnG (Lae: Main screen, POM: Bottom right), New Caledonia (Noumea: centre right), Australia (Brisbane: Top Right). Nowadays apps are bandwidth frugal!

Q4: No Startup ecosystem, precinct in PnG!

A: Untrue. Startup ecosystems are disrupting ecosystem that appear where opportunities exist. It’s the case in the
Southc West Pacific. UNITEC campus received funding to build a dedicated building to host 50 startups in the coming
5 years. Unitec VC chair the SouthPacific VC network. In addition there is EU PNG ICT Cluster initiative 2014 (Priscilla
Kevin), TedEx PortMoresby (Deane Woruba), Entrepreneur Academy (Axel Peyriere). Makesense

http://beta.makesense.org the world leading App for sharing was started in Tahiti, Groenland (kidding… Pacific… don’t
get the joke? Refer to question 1)

Q5: South Pacific nations exports only Kawa and Belternut eventually coffee…

A: Heritage of trade and sharing economy DNA rich of 50,000 years pre-dating numerous civilisations

Q6: Proliferation of Apps…

A: Not really. SoftasaService (SaaS) allows tired pricing of the Apps, a entry very low price lean pricing. A flexible App with various targeted features (PPE Protective Protection Equipment),
interface with other innovative solutions and software would allow integration of App in work processes driving low

change management and high value creation.

Q7: Why South (west) Pacific?

A: South West Pacific is the official Geographicaly agreed part of the world where Source Pacifique operates (locally owned and operated branches or partners in PnG, New Caledonia, Indonesia, Timor, Queensland). Circa 20 countries and associates regions (e.g. West Papua) with a scalable market of circa 20 milion like minded people

South Pacific (with the omission of Wesf) has a political connotation as the South Pacific Community was founded as a United Nation diplomatic
initiative. For several of SPC members it is perceived as an initiative from ex-colonial empires. This was brought to
us while in Indonesia meeting with Vice-Consul of Indonesia in New Caledonia. Melanesia has a political connotation
in New Caledonia, it is perceived as representing only a part of the population referred as “Kanak”, leaving aside
Mainland French referred as “Caldoches” as well as numerous other pacific heritage people including Lapita.

Q8: Does Source Pacifique has any political ambitions?

A: NO, SP aspirations are 100% focused toward contributing to a social business ecosystem. Each of its directors and associates are free to have their
own opinion.

Pierre Elias has his own and can be contacted at pierrelias@pierrelias.com to exchange. Pierre is French/Egyptian
and was exposed since his youngest age to the idea of Non-Aligned Movement referred as Spearhead in PnG which
translates into “Fer de Lance” in French. Pierre’s vision is a #5haringEconomy as an evolution of the world economic
model.

The name C5V was born in PnG in 2015

PnG Barter heritage equips the country to lead a 5th world of barter2.0

The CSV initiative founded by Michael Porter is a very rich source of personal insights.

It has fueled SP to create its first platform APP called C5V!

Q9: Creating Shared Value, CSV a “naïve, idealistic” goal unable to shatter the current over dominance

of $ driven stock indexes?

A: Not sure. Indeed Michael Porter is bold in his new approach. His paper became a must read harward best seller

https://hbr.org/2011/01/the-big-idea-creating-shared-value

Technologies are more mature than ever setting
unprecedented group for granular, individual, community and aggregated sharing of the value. Governance needs to be
set for responsible (CSV!) new digital, agricultural and energy businesses. South West Pacific has what it takes to
play a acting global role building on its #5haringEconomy heritage.
