Scalable Solutions to Urban Problems

Public, Private and Academic Leaders can move cities forward

Our Massive Transformative Purpose

Accelerate Technology into Society.

Our Mission

Our mission is to inspire, educate and empower cities and their citizens to find cutting edge, scalable ways to solve critical urban challenges 10X faster and cheaper than previously thought possible.

Our Framework

Based on the methodology from the book, Exponential Organizations, teaches cities and their citizens how they can create solutions to critical problems facing their city 10 times faster and 10 times cheaper than previously considered possible.

Our Impact

Fastrack Institute is a non-profit organization achieving social impact through injection of knowledge and technology to enable cities to adapt to and capitalize on rapid technological change alongside rapid urban population growth. We work together with our member cities to find cutting edge, scalable solutions to grand urban challenge. Our focus is primarily on solving urban problems for cities and regions of one million or more citizens, although we do work with smaller cities and communities.

The opportunity

Cities are the future. Using accelerating technologies and the exponential organizations methodology delivered via the Fastrack framework, we can provide scalable solutions to urban problems faced by cities and their citizens.

Why Cities?

Studies show people identify with the city they live in more than their region or country. They have the most direct influence over change at that level through things like taxes and the power of their vote.

Our Cities

Our Solution

The Fastrack framework empowers cities, their leaders, and their citizens, with multidisciplinary teams, to find solutions for critical civic problems. It is a comprehensive process that rapidly establishes design solutions, governance approaches and regulatory frameworks.

ExO Attributes

Based on the methodologies outlined in Salim Ismail’s Exponential Organizations, Fastrack Institute targets significant problems in multiple cities around the world.

Take the first step

The output

The framework delivers companies with product-market fit and scalable repeatable business models. Most importantly, it delivers a permanent state change for the city in its ability to innovate at scale. There is no faster way.

Mobility

Acceleration of the electrification of transportation and biologically inspired solutions to data sharing and management.

Health

Focusing on preventative health and wellness and intervention at just the right time.

Financial Inclusion

Leveraging blockchains, distributed autonomous organizations, and other exponential technologies.

Air Quality

The city of Medellín requested an Air Quality Fastrack focusing on the growing problem in the region.
