MANAGEMENT EXPERTISE
Involvement in External Success Stories
To succeed in the mission of turning the concept of International Cities into reality, strong emphasis on innovation and responsibility is key.
TIPOLIS boasts a highly experienced management team to drive our vision forward and create a prosperous future for locals, investors and host countries alike while building a global network of business opportunities.
CASE STUDY
Dubai International
Financial Centre
The DIFC serves as an inspiration and an excellent example of the kind of innovation envisioned by TIPOLIS.
By creating a common-law zone in the UAE, the DIFC enabled the importing of world-class legal and regulatory institutions. This has turned a physically small jurisdiction into Dubai’s economic powerhouse and transformed the city into one of the world’s most important financial hubs.

CASE STUDY
Próspera ZEDE,
Honduras
Dr. Titus Gebel, now CEO of TIPOLIS, was closely involved in the establishment of the institutional and legal setting within Próspera.
To unlock new ways toward economic development, Honduras enabled the establishment of next-generation autonomous special economic zones, bringing in more than $100 million in new investment and many new job opportunities in just a few years.
The TIPOLIS International City model learns from and builds upon the strengths of this innovative special zone.

Dr. Titus Gebel
— Chief Executive Officer —
Titus Gebel is an entrepreneur with a PhD in international law and an extensive worldwide network. Amongst others, he co-founded Frankfurt-listed Deutsche Rohstoff and the Canadian nuclear startup Dual Fluid Energy.
Frustrated by the lack of reformability of current systems, he developed the concept of Free Private Cities, an entirely new product in the “market of living together”. In 2018, he published the book “Free Private Cities – Making Governments Compete for You” where he is stating the theoretical and practical groundwork. Furthermore, Titus established the non-profit Free Cities Foundation. The Foundation works with small territories that are adopting liberty-oriented policies to give citizens more choice in the rules that govern their lives. Titus is considered one of the leading figures in the worldwide free cities movement.
As Chief Legal Officer, Dr. Gebel played an important role in the establishment of the most ambitious special zone to date, Próspera, Honduras. He also advised other countries in innovations of Special Economic Zones.
As CEO of TIPOLIS, Titus is now fully focused on trailblazing innovative Special Administrative Region models in the form of International Cities.

Subsequently, he moved to the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), as Executive Director of the Dispute Resolution Authority, and started his own company. Functionally, Dr Baumgartner’s focus is on strategy, narrative development, strategic communications and organizational growth, with a sweet spot for legal, regulatory and judicial matters.
