Chamwick - Formerly known as Technology City
« on: February 17, 2022, 01:09:36 AM »

Constructed to help kick start East Moreland's high tech exports Technology City was conceived by King Sven, however it was his son King David that put it into practice. The concept was to give the brightest young minds a leg up in high tech industries and promote STEM subjects. The city was purpose planned in stages to allow growth to be sustainable. Three stages of construction took place.

STAGE 1

The building of a community of homes and social facilities such as schools and hospitals. This initially catered for around 15,000 people but had built in space for expansion as time goes by. This stage also saw the construction of dry docks for naval research along with facilities to provide wind and wave energy.

STAGE 2

East Moreland Science Park - This  project built 2,850,000 sq ft of buildings to allow top class research in fields as varied as biomedical sciences to astrophysics. As part of this stage a new Kings Institute of Science was opened providing world class education for around 1000 students a year.

Further land areas were provided to allow major companies to establish HQ's with help in subsidies and tax exemptions.

As part of this 35 Entrepenaur Workplaces were set up with their own conditions and benefits.

These will be for businesses that are less than three years old and currently employ less than 100 people.

These workspaces will be available to any company wishing to apply on the following conditions.

1. Their business must be connected to Science (any discipline)

2. They must be willing to employ at least 50 more people than they already do and these people must be from East Moreland.

3. Companies must be willing to give work experience to ten students from East Moreland's new Kings Institute of Science for three weeks a year.

In return companies will receive.

1. 50% discount on the use of Kings Institute of Science facilities.

2. Fast track for work visas for existing staff if needed

3. Reduced rates of tax for each 25 people they employ. (approx. 2.5% reduction in business rates per 25 jobs created.

4. Connections with a wide range of East Moreland's most established businesses.

At the end of three years the company must leave the Workplace but can still utilise other accomodation at Chamwick

STAGE 3

East Moreland Technology Park - The centre piece for this was the new East Moreland Aircraft company research, development and manufacturing plant. This facility covers 832-acre (3.4-kmē) and will centralise all of EMAC's operations. Surrounding this flagship facility are units available to a variety of types of companies. Those already with a stake include East Moreland Rifle Company, SmartWorks Software, Avalon Chemical Solutions and Osman Biomedicals. This Park also saw the construction of heavy rail and its own cargo port.

STAGE 4

Business and Innovation Park - This is a facility set up to allow companies to exchange ideas , have their admin headquarters and for smaller companies to obtain office space close to world class research facilities.



Alongside the Four Stages two Universities were established. The Chamwick University acts as a general university meanwhile the Kings Institute is a specialist technological University. Part of the condition of investing in Chamwick is to offer "meaningful" work experience to students at both institutes as well as an annual competition.

With a desire to spread our business globally we are constantly looking for oppurtunities to not just benefit from interesting markets but are also interested in finding people who can help push our growing industry forward. With this in mind we would like to open a facility at Chamwick manufacturing diamonds. As this will be a small scale facility we hope we will be able to qualify for one of the short term contracts for small numbers of workers. At the end of the three years we can evaluate the relationship and should it have been beneficial to both parties we can extend and expand the agreement.

If successful we would employ 51 people and three from Rayyu.

Best Regards

Qassim Rasoul
CEO Diamond Farm Labs

We are pleased to announce that the applications of Welt North and Gattaca are accepted. We look forward to welcoming them to the city in the very near future.

With regards to the application of  Sokić Consolidation for various enterprises we must sadly, in some cases, put conditions upon acceptance.

1. Isiasovoria-Lodja Telecommunications - accepted with immediate effect

2. Lucid Company - accepted with immediate effect

3. Vaguzia General Energy - the site will be avaliable on three conditions. The first of these is that the site will be compliant with all parts of the MAEA, the second is that no material of a radioactive nature may be removed from the site without the prior permission of the East Moreland government, finally that the site must come under the juristiction of the East Moreland militaries Royal Logistics Corps who are responsible for the security of all nuclear power projects within the Kingdom. This final step is obviously significant following the attempts by the Bene Gesserit to steal nuclear waste from East Morelands own civilian nuclear power projects several years ago. 

Should the Sokic Corporation accept these conditions for V.E.G. we look forward to welcoming them to the site.
