Get lost in the past to incubate ideas for the future.

Join a small, curated group of researchers, builders, entrepreneurs, politicians, and artists for a 10-day unconference focused on the political economy of AI. We will build new infrastructure, business models, and institutions for AI.

• Dates: June 14-24, 2026

• Location: Bückeburg Palace, Germany (1 hour outside of Hanover)

• Style: unconference

• Number of attendees: ~35

• Costs: None, accommodation and food included

What are the new (and old) business models of AI?

What would it look like to open-source or decentralize layers of the AI stack?

What new institutions will shape the future of the AI industry?

During the 10-day residency we will probe these and other questions, challenging each other’s assumptions and our own assumptions. We’ll debate guidelines, philosophies, business models, and standards. We might even build prototypes, write white papers, and launch new companies.
