The World Datanomic Degree
8. - 10. September 2025,
8.30 a.m. - 2.30 p.m.
Help teams come up with data-driven humanitarian solutions in crisis situations, build them together with your participants, make all humanitarian ventures investment ready, raise together with the teams you guided and lead the way to success for an entire community!
The World Datanomic Degree is a certified training experience for those who want to lead teams towards the launch of impactful ventures at the edge of reason, safety and normality — in frontier markets, conflict zones, and overlooked communities. Inspired by StartupBoat and Cosmopolis, this program helps ongoing facilitators transform the adventurous ideas of participants into stable, investable opportunities backed by real-world data, investors and funding.
Ongoing facilitators learn how to work in groups of 15-30 people in mobile, immersive settings such as boats and border regions, then transition to structured residencies where the projects of the working groups are refined, stabilized, funded and scaled.
The World Datanomic Degree is designed for:
-
Social entrepreneurs, journalists, human rights defenders, diplomats, innovators, investors, community leaders and researchers who want to enable more people to do more good creatively
If you’ve ever dreamed of helping countless people solve global challenges in bold, unorthodox ways — this is your call to action. Find a financially sustainable way to grow your impact community and help its members secure their success for the long run.
