On the heels of news that Media Lab Europe is to close, and that European IT research is failing (see below) comes a more cheerful message: Kaos Pilots in Denmark is to stay open. A new prospectus has been published with the announcement of a plan to make this unique institution, which is rather like a cross between Burning Man and a b-school, ‘Scandinavia’s most attractive and modern entrepreneurial program’. Kaos Pilots, which is 13 years old, lost a big chunk of state funding a year ago, but they have managed to fill the liquidity gap for now with support from the Tuborg Foundation and a dairy company. Earlier this week Kaos Pilots published 25 ‘Recommendations From Us to the World’. The list contains a lot of exclamation marks, and tends towards breathlessness – but what the heck, these guys are aviators. If the thought of going to HBS or Insead fills you with gloom, check them out.
