Our Mission

Our Mission

"Accelerating Economic Development and Wealth Generation in Black Communities in the USA and Sub-Saharan AFRICA."

Talent Development
The current demand for talent has created an opportunity for Africans and African Americans to rethink how talent is identified, developed, recruited, attracted, and retained.

InnoPower Africa
InnoPower is working to develop a more robust pipeline of awareness and access to Africa’s talent and solutions, especially in Nigeria and West Africa regions. In many ways, we should stop thinking about how Africa can be more like us. Instead, we should think about how we can be more like Africa.

Entreprenuership
Investments in Black entrepreneurs and small businesses are direct investments into Black communities and economic recovery. To support Black-owned businesses, we can not only invest in building their capacity, but we must also invest in building the capacity of the entire entrepreneurial ecosystem they rely on for success.

What We Do

Our 4 C’S

CONVENE

Conference and eco-system building.
The InnoPower Minority Business Week's main priority is to increase the competitiveness of Black students, entrepreneurs, business owners and professionals through unprecedented exposure to the regional innovation ecosystem.

CULTIVATE

Conference and eco-system building.
We recognize that entrepreneurs need different resources at each stage of their entrepreneurial journey. We also recognize that communities need different resources at different stages of their economic development journeys.

CONNECT

Conference, networking and eco-system building.
We incubate Ecosystems to build effective impact networks. Today challenges are systemic and structural and have no obvious solutions. They require diverse combinations of people, communities, organizations, and industry to coordinate actions and work together even when the way forward is unclear.

CAPITALIZE

We provide access to capital for Lifestyle, High growth and Social Entrepreneurs
In creating an entrepreneurial startup ecosystem, funding sources must be identified and brought to the community, especially the early-stage funding formats such as grants, angel investors, and impact investors.
