"Since we explored the origin story of the Gelephu Mindfulness City in Bhutan during our Startup Cities Live, it’s good to highlight how progressive they have been and the benefits for the network society industry.

Earlier this year, Draper Nation ran an e-hackathon in Bhutan to develop the core tools of a borderless digital economy. Now, it is Edge City that visited the Bhutanese city to explore potential synergies. The trip is worth a look!

Gelephu Mindfulness City is part of the Sarpang District Special Economic Zone, which provides a holistic framework for economic development based on the Gross National Happiness index, with its own legal autonomy. It aims to attract high-tech sectors in seven economic clusters: spirituality, health and wellness, education, green energy and tech, finance/digital assets, agri-tech/forestry, and aviation/logistics.

The zone has a Digital Reserve Bank, with friendly frameworks for cryptocurrencies to attract digital-native companies. The king recently announced Innovate for GMC, a flagship program to support the Bhutanese youth towards building mindful solutions aligned with the National Vision for the city."
