What is INNOVATE?
INNOVATE stands for Iranian Network Of Visionaries And Technology Entrepreneurs. It is an ambitious and thrilling event, part of a global movement empowering Iranian entrepreneurs and tech enthusiasts. It focuses on networking, fostering innovation, and collaboration in cutting-edge industries like AI, Machine Learning, blockchain, and mixed reality. Having successfully held events in Canada and Europe, INNOVATE now sets its sights on SoCal, where a passionate volunteer team aims to unite the Iranian community and beyond. The main goal is to showcase future tech opportunities, feature outstanding speakers from diverse backgrounds, highlight successful startups and individuals, and create a vibrant hub for talent and connections. While its origins are Iranian, the event warmly welcomes all participants and will be conducted in English. The organizers aspire to expand their impact to non-Iranian communities. INNOVATE promises to be a historic occasion, uniting tech enthusiasts in a celebration of innovation and collaboration.
