INCUBATION & COLLABORATION ON BOLD OPEN SOURCE PROJECTS THAT ADDRESS OUR PLANET'S GRAND CHALLENGES. sunrise-1756274.jpg an open innovation lab We develop and incubate open source and disruptive projects that seek to address the most pressing big picture challenges. To navigate such an ambitious mission, we combine interdisciplinary frameworks on holistic thinking to understand complex problems, propose and build solutions designed to catalyze transformational change. We leverage emerging technologies in systems that can harness the power of human collaboration. WHY A LAB?: EXPERIMENT > FAIL > LEARN > ITERATE. 2018-2020 WORK: Climate & energy transition TECH TOOLS: Blockchain, IoT, VR FRAMEWORKS: Resilience, systems and design thinking, social innovations Learn More YalePartnerLogos_centers-03.png Artboard 1.png - HIGHLIGHTED EVENT - OPEN CLIMATE COLLABATHON OPEN CLIMATE COLLABATHON EARTH DAY LAUNCH 2020 Hear the event dialogues with climate & technology experts and re-live the virtual sessions with the global community.

HOW MIGHT WE radically accelerate the transition to a solar economy? karsten-wurth-inf1783-92122-unsplash.jpg incubating open projects. Artboard 5.png 2019-20: TRANSITION TO A SOLAR ECONOMY We are currently focusing on innovative projects that accelerate the transition to a low-carbon energy economy, preventing dangerous climate change and the crossing of planetary boundaries. OPEN SOURCE & FORKABLE All of our projects are developed with the intention to open source its code, blueprints and documentation. Different participatory governance models are evaluated to harness collective intelligence. The rise of blockchain technology and a web 3.0 encourages new business models that can capture value from an open source core technology. MULTI-DISCIPLINARY & HOLISTIC Our project's mindset is free from fixed disciplinary structures, and rather focuses underlying cause of problems and creative solutions. We use both systems and design thinking to navigate complexity. MULTI-PERSPECTIVE & CROSS-SCALE IMPACT We recognize the nested systems involved in complex global problems, and incubate projects that span multiple perspectives: from the Earth down to the individual self. OpenLab_thinking-17.png INCUBATED PROJECTS OpenClimate A single global budget demands a single decentralized ledger network. We are building a global platform for climate accounting using blockchain, IoT and a growing open innovation network.
