Recent event at the Institute on Space 2.0
From its humble beginnings in a small office on Main Street in Longmont, Colorado, the DaVinci Institute began as the brainchild of Thomas Frey, a seasoned entrepreneur and one of IBM’s most decorated idea laureates.
Launched in 1997 as a non-profit futurist think tank, the Institute has emerged as a center of visionary thought, attracting both a national and international following of idea junkies and business leaders alike.
Unlike Leonardo DaVinci, the Institute set its sights on producing tangible results as opposed to conceptual thinking. The founders decided that they didn’t just want to talk about the future - they wanted to help unlock the future, one idea, one invention, one business at a time. With this directive, the Institute began educating aspiring inventors and entrepreneurs with the critical skills necessary to make their projects viable.
During the past twelve years the Institute has been very prolific in its accomplishments, writing and publishing countless papers and producing over 100 events across the country. These events have ranged from the hands-on Twitter Boot Camps, to the interactive Inventor Boot Camp for Kids, to the international - Forbes Magazine sponsored - Future of Money Summit.
