Edge City is a ‘society incubator’ dedicated to advancing human flourishing. We create environments perfect for practical experimentation with new ideas, technology, culture, and organizations committed to moving humanity toward a brighter future.

‍

We've developed a new format of gathering that is best suited for experimentation to further human flourishing. We call them “popup villages.” These villages last 1–2 months and bring together 1,000 people to live and collaborate, with roughly 200-300 of those being full-time residents. The temporary nature of these events creates freedom to experiment outside of the box, mixed with a shared sense of urgency and ambition to build and ship before the end of the month, similar to a college semester.

‍

We create environments where you can do your best work while feeling your best — from daily workouts and healthy meals to good sleep and mindful habits. It's innovation at its most creative, health at its most natural, and community at its most fun.

‍

Besides our popup villages, we also host occasional expeditions, like this event in Bhutan.

‍

This will be a deeply immersive experience for those who attend. Over four weeks, we’ll explore a wide range of themes, from frontier technology and governance to culture, nature, and community design.

‍

The goal of Edge City Patagonia is to foster meaningful collaboration among global builders and local innovators, while experimenting with new models of residency, co-living, and place-based innovation.

‍

You’ll be part of a living ecosystem that sparks long-term relationships, new ventures, and real-world impact—set against one of the most awe-inspiring backdrops on Earth.

‍

This village is ideal for you if you're:
‍

• Interested in the intersection of technology, culture, nature, and decentralized systems.
• A builder, founder, or researcher seeking meaningful collaboration in an immersive setting.
• Excited to learn from and contribute to emerging local innovation ecosystems.
• Looking to deepen your network of technologists, creatives, and community catalysts.
• A curious thinker who thrives in experimental, cross-disciplinary environments.

You’ll leave Edge City Patagonia with a vibrant community of peers, forged through shared experiences in one of the world’s most inspiring natural and technological frontiers.

‍

A standard ticket for all shared community activities—co-working, open programming, wellness sessions, community dinners, and more—is between $500 and $1,000 if you purchase at the early bird rate before August 8. Prices will increase every two weeks after that.

Residencies
If you are joining as a residency participant, your ticket and accommodation might be sponsored by the host. 

‍

Your ticket includes:

• Access to all programming
• Co-working space at BIT Cotesma
• Wellness offerings and community experiences
• Cultural events, weekend adventures, and village-wide gatherings

Accommodation and meals are not included — these are arranged separately, either by your residency or on your own.

We’ll organize community dinners for special occasions and host some shared meals throughout the month (like traditional asados ). But you’ll also have plenty of chances to cook with friends, eat with your residency group, or try local restaurants on your own.

‍

Apply now to join Edge City Patagonia. If accepted, you’ll get a link to purchase your ticket. Once you’ve secured your spot, you’ll get early access to all confirmed residencies as they’re announced. You don’t need to be in a residency to attend — many participants come solo or with friends and find collaborators on the ground.
‍
This is the most reliable way to attend. Your spot is guaranteed once accepted and paid, even if your residency placement happens later.

‍

Absolutely! Many people come solo or in small groups and join existing residencies or collaborate on projects once they arrive.

‍

Fill out our residency form with your idea, theme, and expected group size (5-50 people). We'll help with logistics and integration.

We provide co-working space, EdgeOS tools, wellness programming, community dinners, demo days, and help with connecting you to accommodation options and other aspects of local integration.

‍

Residencies can be backed by organizations, designed by friends, or organized around shared questions. Sponsorship is optional.

‍

You organize your own housing. Most residencies stay in lodges or hotels together, but there are various options, from shared spaces to private rentals.

‍

We suggest staying anywhere within walking distance from our co-working hub BIT Cotesma. 

‍

We do not offer refunds. You are able to change the dates of your ticket to a different week. If you cannot attend but find someone to take your ticket, we’re happy to transfer it. Please email info@edgecity.live with the new attendee’s name and email address.

‍

Edge City Patagonia takes place in San Martín de los Andes. The town has its own airport with good connections. You can fly in from Buenos Aires for example (approximately a 2-hour flight).

‍

Alternatively, you can fly to Bariloche and take a 3-hour scenic drive to San Martín de los Andes (This route is absolutely stunning and highly recommended!).
