IdeasBridge is a unique initiative that focuses on the rapidly growing world of social innovation. It provides solutions and resources needed to help everyone become a change-maker and presents compelling models that explore the fundamental principles of successful social innovation in Nigeria, Africa and ultimately around the world.

Coupled with our live, monthly forums, IdeasBridge is building a global online "open source" community that competes to surface the best social solutions, and then collaborates to refine, enrich, and implement those solutions. IdeasBridge begins by providing an overarching intellectual framework for ideas presentations that bring together individuals and collective social reformers initiatives into a more powerful whole.

To keep the framework dynamic, the online IdeasBridge's community identifies and selects the best solutions and helps refine them to be showcased at the monthly forum. The result is societal, national and global action frameworks, drawing on the work of social entrepreneurs, media practitioners, designers, consultants that seed collaborative action and visibility on a global scale—making a big difference, field by field. One city at a time.

IdeasBridge 's Idea Reviewers are regular contributors of commentary and analysis that ensure lively and rich online discussion.

The IdeasBridge models aims to challenge the traditional focus of issues like human trafficking and conflict resolution with a broader, more complete set of stakeholders. As such, each one serves as a platform for building a practitioner- and investor-engaged community that sparks new waves of innovation around problems stuck on conventional approaches.

As the diverse group of stakeholders comes together and sees the way their work and concerns overlap and inspire each other, unexpected and important outcomes typically ensue that the IdeasBridge model makes possible but could never predict. At IdeasBridge, we believe that Collaborative Competitions will produce new partnerships between Corporate Organizations, Private investors and our pool of innovators and social changers.
