On March 26, we’ll have policymakers, SEZ operators, and founders discussing how special zones in Honduras survived 4 years of political attempts to shut them down, and what happens next.
This is directly relevant to anyone working on governance or jurisdictional innovation!
Only at the lib/acc Summit

Innovation in governance is the base layer for innovation in other areas. Especially for those innovating at the frontier.
Founders in this space are working on some of the most important tasks when it comes to bringing about more freedom and prosperity, by creating new cities, special economic zones, and special jurisdictions.
I am helping @ProsperaGlobal @infinitacity and @PronomosVC host a program for such founders.
On March 25/28, @patrissimo will facilitate a Founders Program in @Prosperahn , where founders will work with each other to solve their challenges, and take their projects to the next level.
If you are a founder, this is a great opportunity: you will be surrounded by people already in the market, as well as investors and policy professionals. So join us by signing up

We are fortunate that years ago, groups of entrepreneurs and innovators left dysfunctional governance systems to build alternatives on the outside.
Today, when institutional dysfunction is broadly recognized around the world, their projects are gaining traction to the benefit of all. These innovations could be THE solution the world is looking for, but they are still not broadly recognized
But there are also challenges. And this is why I am helping @ProsperaGlobal, @infinitacity, and @PronomosVC host this event focused on bringing Special Economic Zones, Charter Cities, and Special Jurisdictions to the next level.
March 25/28, Prospera, Roatan, Honduras!

Organized in collaboration with @ProsperaGlobal, @infinitacity, and @PronomosVC, the summit brings together policymakers, operators, and investors to examine how governance reform and economic freedom are being tested and implemented across the region.

📖 Issue VI of the Journal of Special Jurisdictions is now available.
What makes a special jurisdiction work in practice? This issue looks closely at the legal and institutional choices that shape autonomy, access, and long-term viability. The papers explore how jurisdictions are designed within sovereign systems, how people and firms navigate them, and how institutional design supports durability and legitimacy over time.

In the second session of the Startup Societies Café, we spoke with Janine Leger about how Edge City operates as a society incubator dedicated to advancing human flourishing. Monthlong popup villages, shared space, and real work. Ideas tested through living and building together.
The conversation was structured around three challenges, three lessons, and three wins, followed by an open Q&A with the community.

Sealand is the OG of Startup Society projects. It’s probably older than many of the people reading this.
We opened the first Startup Societies Café with Prince Liam Bates and Prince James Bates, reflecting on what it actually takes to sustain an unconventional political project over decades.
The conversation followed a simple structure:
- Three wins
- Three lessons
- Three f$%@ ups
A grounded way to talk about legitimacy, governance, and long-term resilience.

📌 Quote of the Week!
Isabela Christo examines how SEZs can reposition Brazil in global investment flows, especially as Chinese firms search for predictable environments to operate abroad. Her argument is that the value of an SEZ comes from the legal architecture surrounding it. By adjusting procedures and simplifying rules, these zones can create conditions where foreign investors feel confident to build long-term projects that benefit local communities.

Luis Freisler examines how SEZs function as legal platforms that shape investment, innovation, and institutional reform. His analysis shows that what makes these zones effective is not the territory itself but the ability to redesign rules, so economic activity can grow under clearer and more predictable governance.

Tom W. Bell presents special jurisdictions as practical laboratories where governments can adjust rules and observe real outcomes. His work shows how these controlled settings have reshaped economic policy in multiple regions, including China’s use of SEZs, which supported Shenzhen’s rise from a small town to one of the country’s largest cities.

📌 Quote of the Week!
Carlos Fortín examines ZEDEs from a constitutional and legal perspective, focusing on how these jurisdictions aim to provide stronger public services while reducing the burdens that slow economic activity. His analysis shows how ZEDEs were designed to create environments where security, health, and education could function with clearer rules and simpler institutions.
