The narrative of innovation has been dominated by bustling metropolises for decades. But a new story is being written, not in skyscrapers, but on main streets. DeReticular Academy is proud to announce a revolutionary new course designed to empower the visionaries of rural America.
Launching October 15th at DeReticular.com: “Building the AI Native Rural Infrastructure Operating System.”
This is more than a curriculum; it is a blueprint for building the next generation of self-sufficient, technologically advanced, and economically thriving communities. Using a unique, simulated case-study approach, we will guide you through the creation of a powerful data ecosystem, giving you the tools to build a smarter, more prosperous future for your hometown.
For the Rural Entrepreneur: Build Your Legacy
You see the potential in your community—the untapped resources, the hardworking people, the deep-rooted sense of place. But you also see the challenges: the brain drain to big cities, the outdated infrastructure, the struggle to compete in a digital-first world. This course is designed to turn those challenges into your greatest competitive advantage.
Advantages for the Entrepreneur:
- Become a Pioneer: Learn how to build an AI Native organization from the ground up. This isn’t about catching up; it’s about leading the way and creating a business model that is years ahead of the curve.
- Unlock Hidden Value: Discover how to create a “Data Flywheel” from local assets. By integrating data from local businesses, logistics, and even energy consumption, you can identify new markets, create efficiencies, and build services your community desperately needs.
- Build a Moat: In a world of global competition, your most defensible asset is your local data ecosystem. This course will teach you how to build a business that is deeply integrated with your community, creating a competitive advantage that cannot be replicated from the outside.
- Access the Tools: The curriculum provides a clear path to not just conceptualize, but to build. Through our partnership with Trifi Wireless, you’ll understand how to access and implement the physical hardware needed to bring your Rural Infrastructure Operating System (RIOS) to life.
For the City Manager & Administrator: Future-Proof Your Community
Your mission is to serve your community, to make it a better place to live, work, and raise a family. You are constantly balancing tight budgets with the growing needs of your citizens. This course provides a strategic framework for leveraging technology to not only solve today’s problems but to build a resilient and prosperous community for generations to come.
Advantages for the City Manager:
- Data-Driven Governance: Move beyond anecdotal evidence and make decisions based on real-time, integrated data. A RIOS can help you optimize everything from traffic flow and waste management to energy grid stability and emergency services.
- Spur Economic Growth: By creating a central data infrastructure, you create a fertile ground for entrepreneurship. This course will show you how to foster an environment where local businesses can thrive, attracting new investment and creating high-paying local jobs.
- Increase Efficiency and Reduce Costs: Learn how the simulated “Agra Dot Energy” model can be applied to your community, using data to build a more efficient and sustainable energy infrastructure, lowering costs for both the municipality and its citizens.
- Attract and Retain Talent: A technologically advanced community with a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem is a magnet for talent. By investing in a RIOS, you are sending a clear signal that your town is open for business and building for the future.
