BizCamp Students Visit Hub Culture Village
Aspiring young Bermudian entrepreneurs attending BizCamp were hosted at Hub Culture Village Friday afternoon where they experienced this invitation-led global collaboration network.
Founder Stan Stalnaker explained to the young participants how Hub Culture’s four functions – Pavilions [places to collaborate], Knowledge Brokerage [consulting and deal services], AI [Zeke artificial intelligence, and Ven, a global digital currency which are all fused together to support cool places for meetings and networking such as Hub Culture Innovation Campus and Beach Club at Ariel Sands in Bermuda

This was the second group of Bermudan teenagers to have the opportunity to visit this mobile campus village with meeting cabanas, a creative studio, a virtual reality unit, restaurant and lounge areas with fiber-optic Internet.
They experience firsthand the virtual reality pavilion, learn about “Cradle to Cradle” sustainability thinking, and began to understand how virtual currency is quickly growing to be a leading force in the global economy.
