+
+The Gradido model can create global prosperity and peace
+The Corona crisis has fundamentally changed our world within a very short time.
+The dominant financial system threatens to fail around the globe, followed by mass insolvencies, record unemployment and abject poverty. Only with a sustainable new monetary system can humanity master these challenges of the 21st century. The Gradido Academy for Bionic Economy has developed such a system.
+
+## Software requirements
+
+Currently we only support `docker` as environment to run all services, since many different programming languages and frameworks are used.
+
+- [docker](https://www.docker.com/)
+
+## How to run?
+
+`docker-compose up`
+
