the world. It is a platform where the world’s leading
organizations, businesses, and institutions come together to
create a better future. Ideagen serves as a platform for highlevel cross sector collaboration. Its member base draws
broadly from influential in the non-profit, corporate, and
public sectors and is designed to harness the models and
best practices each member brings to the table to catalyze

A famous theory states the there are no more

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 affection our nation
and the world.

The Ideagen mission is to create a zero degree platform to
foster an environment for cross-sector collaboration. Our
objection is to nurture and strengthen connections and
communication between organizations, which together, have
the ability to create the ability to create innovative solutions
to some of the most vexing issues of our time.
