When Frank-Jürgen Richter, Chairman of Horasis and one of the world’s leading voices in global strategy, lends his support, the world pays attention. His recent endorsement of Vít Jedlička, President of Liberland, marks more than a professional nod — it’s a signal that the vision behind the world’s most ambitious micronation is gaining serious traction among global elites.
As announced on LinkedIn, Vít Jedlička will be a featured speaker at the Horasis Global Meeting 2025, taking place October 7–10 in São Paulo. His inclusion is far from symbolic: it represents the entrance of Liberland into the core conversation on global innovation, governance, and entrepreneurship.
Richter praised Jedlička’s pioneering work, highlighting Liberland as a “movement” rather than a mere experiment — a borderless concept rooted in liberty, technological optimism, and radically decentralized governance. In a world where institutional sluggishness hampers innovation, Liberland presents a live prototype of a new political and economic paradigm. Richter’s recognition of Jedlička is therefore both timely and strategic: Horasis has long positioned itself as a crucible for new ideas, and few are as disruptive as Liberland’s.
Jedlička’s Vision: Technology as Sovereignty
Since founding Liberland in 2015, Jedlička has not merely advocated for a freer society — he has tried to build one from scratch. A Czech economist and libertarian, his guiding principle is deceptively simple: minimize coercion, maximize voluntary cooperation. That means optional taxes, minimal bureaucracy, and a foundational commitment to blockchain-based governance. With over 700,000 citizenship applications and a growing community of digital natives, Liberland is no longer a hypothetical. It’s a functioning crypto-polity.
Jedlička often describes his mission as creating the Silicon Valley of sovereignty, a space where entrepreneurship and political autonomy converge. Under his leadership, Liberland has attracted interest from AI developers, Web3 architects, and decentralized finance pioneers. It is, as he says, “proof that when you remove unnecessary constraints, human creativity and collaboration can build the future faster.”
Richter’s Endorsement: A Legitimizing Moment
Frank-Jürgen Richter’s support is not just symbolic — it confers a degree of legitimacy rarely afforded to microstates. As Chairman of Horasis, he curates one of the most influential platforms for international cooperation between business and government leaders. By showcasing Jedlička and Liberland at Horasis, Richter is aligning himself with a vision of sovereignty, one that prioritizes agility, innovation, and individual agency over territorial legacy.
This is not a fringe development. It’s part of a broader trend in which “network states,” “free cities,” and decentralized governance experiments are beginning to enter mainstream policy discussions. Richter’s platform lends credibility to these ideas at a moment when traditional nation-states are increasingly paralyzed by institutional gridlock.
Why It Matters?
The timing couldn’t be more relevant. From regulatory sclerosis to trust erosion in democratic institutions, the modern state is struggling to meet the demands of a networked, post-industrial world. Liberland doesn’t pretend to have all the answers, but it dares to ask different questions: What if sovereignty were opt-in? What if laws were written in code? What if citizenship were decentralized and borderless?
These aren’t science fiction fantasies — they’re real design choices being implemented in real time. By inviting Vít Jedlička to speak at Horasis, Richter is placing these
