Social Materials:
Ipê Village is a month-long experimental city where selected global talents will colive, learn, and prototype solutions and a governance system for the city of the future, leveraging AI and blockchain technologies.
It is a step forward in Ipê City's long-term plan to build social technologies for a new city. You can read more about the project in the next sections.
We’ll select creators, specialists, engineers, and entrepreneurs to reimagine the city of the future and experiment with solutions for governance, finance, education, and health which we call parallel institutions.
Our main goals at the pop-up city are:
Fostering a techno-optimistic culture that believes in freedom, progress, and fairness;
Prototype a new governance system and parallel institutions leveraging digital and decentralized technologies to address longstanding societal challenges such as chronic poverty, inefficient healthcare, and the rise of human rights violations.
Our Governance systems are built on a 250-year-old operating system consisting of political institutions, based on social constructs and papers, and secured by guns.
Meanwhile, our modern economy runs on a digital-native operating system, consisting of the Internet and blockchains, based on networks and open-source code, secured by cryptography.

The main reason we have a multi-century technological gap between the governance system and the modern economy is the lack of a frontier for creating new governments or public services from scratch and competing with established systems.
Startups have already created new companies, media, communities, and even currencies.
Could they also build new cities and governance systems?
We believe they can.
Over this month, you have access to a 3-day Conference, Weekly Buildathons, and several small summits, workshops, meetups, fitness sessions, and other fun activities.
Week 1 - Onboarding, Networking and Startup Society Conference II (April 25th - April 27th) - talks and panel sessions with thought leaders and entrepreneurs from the startup society, crypto and AI industries.
Week 2 - Week 4 (Weekly Buildathons) - co-create alongside other Ipê Architects tech solutions for Health, Education, Governance, and Finance. Each week, you'll have the opportunity to pitch an idea to the community, build a prototype solo or with a team, and showcase it at the end.
A few notes about the experience:
If you are an Ipê Architect (3-week builder resident), we’ll require weekly progress of your project, and in the last week, present your results to the city residents, partners, and investors
Every Ipê Architect can apply for grants for projects and content.
There will be an open calendar to organize your own events, such as meetups, workshops, barbecues, parties, workouts, fitness sessions, tourism, and more.
During your stay, you’ll be able to continue working remotely at your regular job while participating in popup activities during your free time.
