Its innovation-led approach intends to help individuals, private and public enterprises develop and deliver disruptive innovations, and scale them faster, and promises to help corporations innovate like start-ups and help start-ups scale to become corporations, from research, ventures, educational programs, studio, innovation centres and events.

The innovative organisation has a vision that is hinged on the massive transformative purpose of changing the status quo and helping individuals and businesses in Nigeria, and ultimately Africa realise their full potentials through education, venture building, and strategic enterprise support.
