AI is transforming every industry — from education and healthcare to business and creative work. Nepal doesn't have to wait for this opportunity.
Dragonfire brings the world's most powerful AI tools directly to Nepali students, entrepreneurs, and communities — affordably, locally, and on your terms.
Dragonfire is a distributed digital infrastructure where AI runs locally or regionally, data remains under the control of the people who create it, and systems are resilient by design.
Instead of relying on one giant platform, Dragonfire works more like a living network — many connected nodes that support each other.
Today, most digital systems extract data without clear consent, lock users into expensive subscriptions, and remove local control and ownership.
Dragonfire was created to address these issues directly:
This approach mirrors how nature itself works: decentralised, redundant, resilient.
Dragonfire is co-founded by Colin Power and Dr Heike Bielek — working at the intersection of AI, mathematics, education, and human-centred technology.
Known in Nepal as international judges on Student of the Year — Himalayan TV's first show dedicated to students.
Dragonfire is part of a broader vision for a sustainable future, working alongside organisations dedicated to planetary regeneration and human flourishing.
Right now, accessing AI means expensive monthly subscriptions to foreign companies, unreliable connections, and zero local control.
We're here to change that. Dragonfire gives Nepal its own AI infrastructure — faster, cheaper, and built for you.
Come to the event. See it for yourself.
A full-day showcase featuring presentations, interactive AI demonstration booths, live demos, and an open panel discussion on the future of technology in Nepal.
