10 MILLION JOBS IN 10 YEARS,
THAT’S OUR GOAL.
Bringing the methods and mindset of Silicon Valley to the world.
A Message from the Chairman, Kamran Elahian.
As a founder of ten companies, with six successful exits, including three unicorn IPOs, I learned to leverage the power of disruptive technology to change industries, drive market value, and create positive impact. But, I had to go to Silicon Valley to do it.
Now, I want to bring the methods and mindset of the innovation economy to the world. 10 million jobs in 10 years, that’s our goal, because we know that when you create jobs and prosperity -- society changes, humanity advances.
Whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur, experienced CEO, government leader or venture capitalist, Global Innovation Catalyst was founded to ensure everyone with the desire to innovate has the opportunity to create value out of their vision.
Leaders hungry for change will define the future. Join us on the journey from idea to execution.
WE BELIEVE IN
Education for the Innovation Economy
Innovation Ecosystems Everywhere
We can no longer afford for innovation to be place-based. Silicon Valley created the blueprint for how to successfully develop and scale an innovation economy, but innovation ecosystems can be built anywhere. We lead the charge by extending our reach to developing regions across the globe such as Africa, Middle East, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and underserved areas in rural America, to ensure that success is not limited by location.
Equitable Access
Innovation continues to be unattainable for many around the world. We want all men, women and historically underserved populations to also have a place on the path to positive disruption, and to go as far as their aspirations take them. That’s why we invest in initiatives such as Championing Women Entrepreneurs, a sponsorship program to bolster female-led innovation; and have provided more than $200K in scholarships to underrepresented and low income entrepreneurs around the world.
Economic Transformation
The creation of jobs and wealth transforms lives and communities. By giving more people the opportunity to launch their own ventures, we are creating a chain reaction that leads to more entrepreneurs and enterprises, one that inspires future leaders and investors. With over 500 graduates across multiple programs, we empower entrepreneurs, corporate innovators, investors and government leaders to accelerate change together.
