To Infinita and Beyond with Niklas Anzinger
HDH
Niklas Anzinger, CEO of Infinita City, discusses how new governance models can unlock technological innovation through regulatory flexibility. Operating within Prospera's special economic zone in Honduras, Infinita is building a biotech-focused district that demonstrates how competitive governance can foster development. Key Takeaways:
Regulatory flexibility allows businesses to select from proven international frameworks rather than being subject to monopolistic regulation, unlocking "stranded technologies"
The project uses market mechanisms like mandatory liability insurance to create proper regulatory incentives without overregulation
Notable tech investors including Brian Armstrong (Coinbase), Balaji Srinivasan, and Tim Draper have recently supported the project, validating its approach to governance innovation
