WE MOVE INNOVATIONS OUT OF SILOS
Accelerating the journey from science to business, we break silos and unite innovation bubbles across profit and non-profit ecosystems to solve significant global challenges.
Who we are
Ikigaia Ltd. is a global decentralized network of inventors, entrepreneurs, and connectors to nurture high-impact innovations and accelerate them into successful business ventures.
What we do
We offer our partners a new-to-world model that brings together ‘hidden gem’ IPRs, innovations and startups with top-tier investors and business ecosystems. With help of our vast global network with cross-industry experience and AI databases we accelerate time-to-market and drastically help you taking a faster leap from IP conception to startup.
We help our partners to take a "fast track" approach to stress test globally significant ideas and bring them to life. Our global IP harvesting model aims to harvest, validate, funnel and scaleup high-impact startups effectively to suitable markets, providing resources e.g. for team building, financing rounds and access to industry networks and non-profit projects.
Why we do it
$598.5 bn
estimated value of unused patents95%
of 21 million patents are not commercialized
Where do 95% of innovations disappear? Why? Wrong teams, location, timing or application. Nonstop research without commercialization target. Innovations produced and scaled-up in silos with limited exposure to markets. Disconnect between IP and finance, lack of collaboration between non-profit vs profit.
