Personal Donation of 33 333 USD buying back the
    Tesla Lab Let’s Build a God Damn Tesla Museum at
                Shoreham, Long Island, US
•    Deal signed to buy the Tesla Lab
•    We are currently involved in the Phase I part of our “due diligence” to assess the property.
     This includes environmental review of the documentation of the clean up of the property.
•    Phase II assessment will include actual environmental testing of the soils and other parts of
     the property to make sure what was cleaned up was done to legal and safe standards.
•    We are also reviewing the things we want to include as part of the science center.
     Architectural and structural engineering will be part of this phase of the work. Some exhibit
     design and landscape design will be part of this, too. Decisions will be made about which
     buildings besides the original Tesla laboratory are safe to keep and adapt for future science
     center use.
•    We are trying to use our resources carefully, and our legal representation is being done pro
     bono. Our lawyers are partners in Squire Sanders, a large multi-national legal firm. We have
     been enjoying the work of four lawyers from that firm.
•    We are soon going to send out requests for experts in architecture, design, landscaping,
     lighting, plumbing, heating, etc. It is possible that we will get some of the work done “pro
     bono” by qualified people in those fields.

                   Buying back the Tesla Lab and building
                                                                                                 9
                 a Science Centre with maybe an incubator
Tesla the Movie
•   Why ?
•   How is it linked to the Tesla Museum ?
•   Next Steps ?
•   How can we help ?




                                             10
My Vision for Serbia’s
                 high-tech future
• Rebrand in terms of good engineers
• Create partnerships on these lines in order to prove superb engineering
  skills with near shore & offshore development
• Only when 1 & 2 fulfilled start to attract investors to really invest into new
  start ups who can be brought to large markets like the US & Silicon Valley
  and/or become regional champions in the South East Europe built on the
  recently better relationships with neighboring countries
• The ultimate dream having more people from the region being able to
  incubate their ideas in the US like Tesla did.... and hopefully get more
  recognition than he got (but we are changing this as we speak)



        Rebrand, prove engineering skills by outsourcing,
           attract investors for Tech & Regional Plays
                                                                              11
       and then the ultimate dream a 10x Tesla Home Run

  • 9. Personal Donation of 33 333 USD buying back the Tesla Lab Let’s Build a God Damn Tesla Museum at Shoreham, Long Island, US • Deal signed to buy the Tesla Lab • We are currently involved in the Phase I part of our “due diligence” to assess the property. This includes environmental review of the documentation of the clean up of the property. • Phase II assessment will include actual environmental testing of the soils and other parts of the property to make sure what was cleaned up was done to legal and safe standards. • We are also reviewing the things we want to include as part of the science center. Architectural and structural engineering will be part of this phase of the work. Some exhibit design and landscape design will be part of this, too. Decisions will be made about which buildings besides the original Tesla laboratory are safe to keep and adapt for future science center use. • We are trying to use our resources carefully, and our legal representation is being done pro bono. Our lawyers are partners in Squire Sanders, a large multi-national legal firm. We have been enjoying the work of four lawyers from that firm. • We are soon going to send out requests for experts in architecture, design, landscaping, lighting, plumbing, heating, etc. It is possible that we will get some of the work done “pro bono” by qualified people in those fields. Buying back the Tesla Lab and building 9 a Science Centre with maybe an incubator

  • 11. My Vision for Serbia’s high-tech future • Rebrand in terms of good engineers • Create partnerships on these lines in order to prove superb engineering skills with near shore & offshore development • Only when 1 & 2 fulfilled start to attract investors to really invest into new start ups who can be brought to large markets like the US & Silicon Valley and/or become regional champions in the South East Europe built on the recently better relationships with neighboring countries • The ultimate dream having more people from the region being able to incubate their ideas in the US like Tesla did.... and hopefully get more recognition than he got (but we are changing this as we speak) Rebrand, prove engineering skills by outsourcing, attract investors for Tech & Regional Plays 11 and then the ultimate dream a 10x Tesla Home Run
