Spring 2018 Ideagen "Catalyze" Magazine | Page 2

Greetings from George Sifakis, CEO of Ideagen

Welcome to the 2018 Annual Global Innovation 2030 Summit hosted by Microsoft at the Microsoft Reactor. We are indeed honored to welcome and hear from luminaries from the world's leading companies, NGO's and public sector. Since our founding, Ideagen and our membership have continued to grow into the influential platform we envisioned.

On behalf of the team at Ideagen, welcome! We thank you and look forward to your commitment to "catalytic impact"!

Ideagen Intersection

Ideagen was created with a single goal in mind: to change the world. It is the platform where the world's leading organizations from across sectors come together to create innovate and collaborate. Our by-invitation member base draws broadly from the leaders from the corporate, non-profit, and public sectors and is designed to harness the models, practices and solutions each member brings to the table to create catalytic scale to address the world's most vexing issues.

A famous theory states there is no more than six degrees of separation between individuals. Ideagen is a zero degree platform for cross-sector collaboration by serving as the catalyst for influential across-sector lines to come together and discuss key issues affecting our nation and the world.
