Marcin Jakubowski, Ph.D. is the founder of Open Source Ecology, an open collaborative of engineers, farmers, and builders developing the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS).
The GVCS is a set of 50 most important machines that it takes for modern life to exist - everything from a tractor, to an oven, to a circuit maker. Marcin is producing open source blueprints - so that anyone can build and maintain machines at a fraction of what it costs today. His goal is to create a life size LEGO set of powerful, self-replicating production tools - that can distribute production - to build modern economies from abundant, local resources.
He imagines the raw power this gives to people - to tap autonomy, mastery, and purpose - towards solving wicked problems.
Marcin believes that lowering the barriers to farming and industry can unleash human potential. He founded Open Source Ecology in 2003 in order to make closed-loop manufacturing a reality. The mission of Open Source Ecology is to create a collaborative economic platform that optimizes development, production, and distribution by using open source collaboration - to accelerate innovation to unprecedented levels. These ideas are being tested at the Factor e Farm (e as in the mathematical constant) in rural Missouri.
Marcin has been recognized as a 2012 TED Senior Fellow, as a 2013 Shuttleworth Foundation Fellow, and a 2013 White House Champion of Change. The Global Village Construction Set was recognized in Time Magazine’s Best Inventions of 2012.
He came to the U.S. from Poland as a child. He graduated with honors from Princeton and earned his Ph.D. in fusion physics from the University of Wisconsin.
