Blue Frontiers

UIX Global is pleased to be working closely with Blue Frontiers, the for-profit spinoff partner of The Seasteading Institute, on prototyping the future of floating island cities in French Polynesia (FP). The French Polynesian government has officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Seasteading Institute, greenlighting the first phase of exploratory work towards deployment of prototype floating communities in the South Pacific. UIX Global will lead the newly formed Blue Frontiers in Technology Partnerships, focusing on public-private partnerships and initiatives for local economic development, work force development, and appropriate technology deployment.

TSI

Since September of 2016, UIX Global has been working closely with The Seasteading Institute on the realization of seasteading communities— floating cities — which will allow the next generation of pioneers to peacefully test new ideas for how to live together. Seasteaders bring a startup sensibility to the problem of government monopolies that don’t innovate sufficiently. Obsolete political systems conceived in previous centuries are ill-equipped to unleash the enormous opportunities in twenty-first century innovation. Seasteaders envision a vibrant startup sector for governance, with many small groups testing out innovative ideas as they compete to better serve their residents’ needs.
