Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions ordered by popularity.
Techno-optimism is the belief that technology will lead to significant positive and sustainable changes in society, solving global issues and improving quality of life through innovation.It is important because it encourages a shift from an excessive focus on traditional political solutions—such as laws, taxation, and regulations—to innovation-oriented governance that leverages the iterative approaches of startups. While technology doesn’t solve all problems, a culture that rejects its power as a central strategy to progress is doomed to poverty and social turmoil.
Absolutely. We believe the future of cities should embrace the vibrant energy of children and expose them to innovation, AI, and other powerful technologies from the beginning. We’ll offer several activities for families and kids.
You can check the prices on the Documentation, Pricing section. Every 2 weeks the price increases 5% until the start of the event.
Residents are responsible for booking hotel or Airbnb accommodations. We strongly recommend booking a place near Founder Haus in Jurere International, within a maximum 10-minute walk.
Yes, but we are prioritizing those who are staying at least 3 weeks as an Ipê Architect, i.e, residents who will prototype and showcase solutions during the pop-up.
