From History to the Novel Era

Since 2007, NovelCity Chamber has played pivotal roles alongside prestigious organizations and institutions, including Google Fiber's deployment in Kansas City, the White House "I Have a Dream Summit," Culture Shift Labs, and numerous economic development initiatives. Our legacy includes founding fiscal sponsorships for landmark events like the KC Startup Village’s MECA Challenge and strategic partnerships with the Kauffman Foundation and major municipalities. These initiatives have continually set benchmarks in fostering sustainable, diverse entrepreneurial ecosystems.

Integration with the MOE2M Protocol and Interplanetary Innovation

Our latest chapter integrates deeply with NOVELOPERS’ MOE2M Protocol, extending our mission beyond traditional boundaries. The NovelCity Chamber serves as the central hub for immersive innovation experiences, leveraging virtual platforms, physical ecosystems, and dynamic programming to drive human-centered, future-proof innovation. Whether through our global innovation districts, smart home initiatives like Novel Homes, or pioneering Martian habitat simulations, we’re positioning innovators for success across both Earth-bound and interplanetary communities.

About the NovelCity Chamber of Innovation

Founded on May 14, 2007, originally as the Good Money Foundation, the NovelCity Chamber of Innovation has evolved to become a leading advocate and catalyst for inclusive innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic growth. Before diversity and inclusion became mainstream, our organization—initially known as United Races of America—championed these principles through impactful initiatives across various sectors and communities.

Today, as the nonprofit arm of NOVELOPERS, NovelCity Chamber embodies the next evolution: an immersive ecosystem powering hyperlocal, global, and interplanetary innovation through dynamic partnerships, groundbreaking education, signature events, and transformative programs.
