Program Network

Overview

The Program Network presents Kambria initiatives through a program-based partnership model.

Rather than listing partners by static categories or partner types, this section organizes the ecosystem around programs and initiatives, each of which brings together a distinct set of partners, contributors, and collaborators over time.

This approach reflects how collaboration within the Kambria Ecosystem actually happens: through programs, experiments, and initiatives, not through permanent partner classifications.

Why a Program-Based Structure

In earlier phases, ecosystem participants were often grouped by partner type (e.g. technology partners, community partners, advisors).

As the network grew, this approach became less effective:

• Some partners were no longer active but remained listed prominently

• The context of how and when collaboration happened was unclear

• New and active initiatives were harder to surface

The Program Network structure addresses this by:

• Centering collaboration around specific initiatives

• Making partnerships time-bound and context-based

• Highlighting active and recent programs first

• Preserving historical initiatives without overstating current activity

What the Program Network Shows

Each sub-page under Program Network represents a program or initiative that:

• Brings together partners, contributors, and communities around a shared objective

• Operates with its own scope, structure, and timeline

• May evolve, pause, or conclude independently of other initiatives

Partners and contributors appear within the context of the programs they participate in, rather than as permanent ecosystem labels.

Program Categories

The Program Network currently includes initiatives such as:

• DAO Experimentation Program (DEP): A program focused on piloting decentralized collaboration and DAO-based experimentation.

• Social Impact Innovation Alliance (SIIA): A network of organizations collaborating around innovation-driven social impact.

• Kambria DAOs: DAOs initiated or supported by Kambria as model or experimental implementations.

• EduKATion: Education and learning initiatives focused on knowledge sharing and capacity building.

• KO Hackathon: Hackathon-based programs designed to explore real-world problem solving through open innovation.

• VAGC: Community and ecosystem-building initiatives connecting innovators and local ecosystems.

• Advisors: Experts and advisors who have contributed across programs at different stages of the network’s development.

Programs are presented with newer and more active initiatives first, while earlier or concluded initiatives remain documented for reference.

How to Read This Section

• Each program page provides context on its purpose, scope, and participants

• Partnerships and contributions are shown per program, not as global roles

• Operational details (governance, participation, workflows) live in program-specific documentation

This structure helps readers understand where collaboration actually happened, rather than just who has ever been involved.

An Evolving Network

The Program Network reflects the evolving nature of Kambria ecosystem.

As new initiatives emerge and others conclude, this section will continue to be updated to surface active collaborations while preserving institutional memory.
