  The World Capital Institute is the umbrella organization and sponsor of the Most Admired Knowledge City Awards, better known as MAKCi Awards (pronounced maxi). MAKCi is a Teleos (MAKE Awards) and WCI joint initiative that seeks to identify and recognize the progress achieved by urban communities around the world implementing knowledge-based strategies for development. The MAKCi exercise integrates a Delphi Technique of consultation on-line with a number of knowledge-based criteria drawn from state-of-the-art R&D on knowledge-based development (KBD). Those criteria are the basis for an invited panel of experts (KBD practitioners, scholars and public officers from around the world) that are convened to analyze, discuss and reach consensus on which urban communities are engaging in formal and systematic development processes under the flag of Knowledge Cities.
