What is an Innovation Safari

What is Innovation Safari?

An Innovation Safari is a structured innovation experience designed for companies and professionals to explore real innovation ecosystems, work on ideas, and activate projects.

It is not a conference.
It is not a training session.
It is not a visit.
It is not a tourist tour.

It is a guided journey into real innovation.

Not theory. Real innovation.

Innovation Safari takes you out of the classroom and into the places where innovation actually happens:

  • Startups
  • Research centers
  • Innovation hubs
  • Corporation Labs
  • Labs and ecosystems

These are Innovation Safari Hotspots: real environments where technology, talent and ideas converge.

A structured experience, not a tour.

Each Innovation Safari is designed using a proprietary methodology that ensures real impact.

The experience follows a clear structure:

  • Learn about trends, technologies and real cases
  • Design new ideas, challenges or projects inspired by what you discover
  • Engage your organization with actionable next steps

This ensures that the experience goes beyond inspiration and generates tangible outcomes.

Guided by experts

Each Safari is led by:

  • Innovation Safari Sherpas: creators of the experience and innovation experts
  • Hotspot Guides: facilitators who connect ideas, people and insights

This combination ensures a coherent, dynamic and high-impact journey.

WHO IS IT FOR

Innovation Safaris are designed for:

  • Corporate leaders and executives
  • Innovation and transformation teams

Because innovation does not happen at your desk.
It happens where ideas meet reality.
