Ecosystem

Edge City creates environments where breakthrough innovations emerge. Our popup villages have helped develop, accelerate, and strengthen projects and experiments pushing the boundaries of technology, science, and society. Explore projects in our ecosystem by type, focus area, or village. Each is an important piece shaping the future we're building.
‍
If your project or collaboration was sparked, supported, or incubated at one of our villages, let us know — we’d love to include it here.
