## ABOUT THE HOST
Apollo Innovation Commons is a civic innovation hub in San Francisco, organized as a lab of labs across AI, biotech, robotics, climate, and the arts. Our work widens access to the tools, capital, and shared infrastructure that let people build. -> https://theapollocommons.com
Open innovation here is a practical commitment: > Publish what we learn > Support the maintainers who keep shared infrastructure running > Keep the people building with these tools in the conversation about how they develop
Large organizations and independent builders both rely on that common layer, which is why this track is built for both.
