OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE - COMUNICADO DE PRENSA OFICIAL
Where Culture Becomes Capital Tulum, Mexico · 2026
Innovation City has launched.
Not as a real estate project. Not as a technology company. Not as a cryptocurrency.
As an ecosystem — designed to transform a territory into a living platform for the next generation of economies.
The announcement comes as Tulum Crypto Fest completes its most ambitious international expansion to date, crossing borders for the first time with an official delegation to Ibiza Tech Forum — and returning with a partnership that bridges Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean.
The world is changing at a pace that leaves most territories behind. Artificial Intelligence is reshaping industries. Alternative payment systems are creating new financial infrastructure. Digital assets are redefining ownership. Communities have become the most powerful engines of economic development.
The question is no longer whether these shifts are happening.
The question is: which territories will be ready?
The story begins during the pandemic with the creation of Tulum Crypto Club.
At a time when much of the world was isolated, a small group of entrepreneurs, investors, technologists and innovators began gathering in Tulum — not to build a company, a movement or a city, but simply to think together. Those early conversations about technology, decentralization, freedom and the future of society became something no one had planned for.
They became Tulum Crypto Fest.
Since its inception, TCF never positioned itself as a traditional conference. It developed as a cultural platform where technology intersects with hospitality, wellness, entrepreneurship, investment and community. Thousands of founders, developers, investors, artists and thought leaders passed through its ecosystem. Many visited once. Others returned repeatedly. Some decided to stay.
As relationships deepened and the community matured, a new reality emerged.
