Nuanu Creative City Hosts Global Thinkers at Genius Future Summit 2026 to Explore the Future of AI, Robotics, Longevity and Education

Nuanu Creative City welcomed scientists, entrepreneurs, investors, and educators from more than 15 countries for the second edition of the Genius Future Summit, held on 5–6 November 2026. Bringing together some of the world's leading thinkers and innovators, the two-day gathering opened conversations about the future of artificial intelligence, robotics, longevity, education, and entrepreneurship, and how these developments could shape the way people live, learn, and work.

Among the speakers were theoretical physicist and bestselling author Dr. Michio Kaku, XPRIZE founder Peter Diamandis, Indonesian entrepreneur Merry Riana, and Genius Group Founder and CEO Roger James Hamilton. The summit brought international perspectives to Bali while creating opportunities for participants to exchange ideas, build connections, and explore emerging possibilities across different industries.

Dr. Michio Kaku closed the summit in conversation with Roger James Hamilton, while Peter Diamandis delivered a keynote on exponential technology. Merry Riana shared her perspectives on the future of education in Indonesia. Other discussions explored robotics, property, and the realities of doing business in Bali, with sessions taking place across Nuanu's Labyrinth Convention Center and Labyrinth Dome.

“Welcoming bright minds, both speakers and participants, is ultimately what Nuanu was built for. We want to bring people together to exchange ideas and start conversations. We're constantly looking for ways to learn, question things, and understand the world better. Being able to share that journey through events like this, and with the people they bring together, is something we're genuinely excited about,” said Lev Kroll, CEO of Nuanu Creative City.

The summit also provided an opportunity to introduce participants to Nuanu's growing ecosystem. During the Nuanu Forum, Angela Stead, Director of Genius Group; Auditya Sari, Project Manager of Nuanu Social Fund; and Ni Komang Sri Junisabtika, Venue Manager of Magic Garden at Nuanu Creative City, shared insights into the city's development, community initiatives, and the work taking place across its different projects.

Education was another key theme throughout the event, particularly the role of technology and entrepreneurship in preparing future generations for a rapidly changing world. These conversations also reflected the ongoing collaboration between Nuanu Creative City and Genius Group (NYSE American: GNS), which includes the development of Genius City, an education and entrepreneurship district within Nuanu, and the integration of the Genius School model and Genius Apprentice programme at ProEd Global School.

The partnership, completed in November 2025 at a combined valuation of US$14 million, brings together Genius Group's education and entrepreneurship programmes with Nuanu's multidisciplinary ecosystem in Bali. On the final morning of the summit, speakers and VIP guests visited several locations within Nuanu, including ProEd's Nuanu campus and Luna Beach Club.

“Look at how quickly the world is changing, especially with AI and new technologies. Yet much of our education system is still preparing young people for a world that no longer exists. I believe education should give people the confidence, skills, and opportunities to create their own future. That's what we're building with Genius City, a place where learning happens alongside entrepreneurs, businesses, and technology, and where people can turn their ideas into something real,” said Roger James Hamilton, Founder and CEO of Genius Group.

Set across 44 hectares on Bali's Tabanan coast, Nuanu Creative City brings together education, art and culture, health and wellness, nature, and living and lifestyle within an interconnected ecosystem. Welcoming approximately 2,500 visitors daily on average, Nuanu hosts international cultural events including Art & Bali and FOTO Bali Festival, alongside educational programmes and community initiatives.

The Genius Future Summit reflects Nuanu's role as a meeting place for people from different disciplines, where new ideas can be shared, perspectives challenged, and conversations continued well after the event itself.
