Every track maps to a sector where small-state economics make the legacy playbook impossibly expensive — and where agentic systems can change the unit economics in a single product cycle.
What we mean by a "track"
A track is a coordination failure with a customer. Not a sandbox. Not a category.
Each track ships with:
- A working brief grounded in real operator conversations in that sector
- Judges and mentors drawn from operators, investors, and researchers in the space
- A path to deployment if the work clears the bar
The shortlist
- Tourism — yield, dispatch, and demand-shaping for fragmented inventory
- Financial — cross-border rails and KYC for the diaspora
- Healthcare — triage, scheduling, and supply for thin systems
- Disaster — pre-position, route, and reunite when the storm hits
- Energy — micro-grid orchestration and demand response
- Blue economy — ocean data, fisheries, and shipping intelligence
- Trade — customs, paperwork, and SME export agents
- Arts — rights, royalties, and global distribution for creators
- Real estate — diaspora capital, titling, and yield
- Intelligence — sovereign data products for governments
Plus an Open Track for teams whose thesis doesn't fit a bucket.
