About Us

Who We Are

Empowering People and Organizations to Thrive in the Age of AI.

We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing AI literacy, innovation, and entrepreneurship education worldwide. Our purpose is to help people, universities, and employers understand and harness artificial intelligence — not as a threat, but as a tool for opportunity and progress.

From classrooms to boardrooms, we design accessible, human-centered programs that prepare individuals and organizations to succeed in the age of AI.

Our Mission

Building a Future of Prosperity for All.

We believe everyone — regardless of background, role, or location — deserves the opportunity to participate in the AI revolution.

Our mission is to equip learners, educators, and organizations with the skills, confidence, and creativity needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

We focus on three pillars that drive inclusive transformation:

AI Literacy

Bridging the global knowledge gap through accessible education.

Innovation

Empowering people to transform ideas into real solutions.

Entrepreneurship

Cultivating the skills and mindset to create sustainable growth.

Together, these pillars support one goal: a future-ready workforce that drives shared prosperity.

Our Story

Inspired by a Lifetime of Innovation and Human Connection

This organization was founded by Alex Goryachev, a Wall Street Journal bestselling author, global innovation leader, and recognized authority on how technology transforms organizations and cultures.

For over two decades, Alex has led technology-driven innovation across industries — guiding global brands such as Cisco, IBM, Dell, Pfizer, and Amgen in building environments where ideas grow and people thrive.

As the former Head of Global Innovation at Cisco, he established Innovation Centers across five continents, launched the company’s first AI innovation program, and led initiatives that helped earn Cisco the title of Forbes’ #1 Best Place to Work for Innovators.

His work has spanned continents and industries — from developing Smart City strategies in seven countries to leading the Olympics Innovation Track for Tokyo and Paris.

Through these experiences, Alex discovered a simple truth:

AI isn’t about technology — it’s about people. It’s about empowering individuals to learn, adapt, and create meaning in a world of constant change.

That belief became the foundation of this nonprofit — a way to make AI literacy, innovation, and entrepreneurship education more accessible to everyone.

Today, we work with educators, employers, and communities to help people develop the skills and confidence to prosper in the age of AI.

Our Approach

Collaborate. Educate. Empower.

We believe the best way to prepare for the future is through collaboration.

Our approach combines academic insight, industry experience, and hands-on learning to create programs that are practical, inclusive, and scalable.

We work closely with partners to:

  • Co-develop curricula and training programs
  • Deliver high-impact keynotes and workshops
  • Facilitate innovation challenges and hackathons
  • Measure progress and share outcomes

Every engagement is built on empathy, curiosity, and a shared commitment to a better future.
