2012 - 2023 | 11 YEARS OF INSPIRATION TOURS

OUR STORY

IN 2012, NIKI SKENE WAS INVITED TO COME TO SAN FRANCISCO AND PITCH HIS BUSINESS-IDEA, THE INNOVATION AGENCY, TO A FEW PEOPLE. EACH OF THESE EPIC HUMANS CONNECTED NIKI WITH MORE PEOPLE IN SILICON VALLEY.

AT THE END OF THE WEEK, NIKI HAD OVER 20 MEETINGS.

ONE OF THE MEETINGS WAS WITH MARIO HERGER, AN AUSTRIAN WHO MOVED TO SILICON VALLEY A DECADE EARLIER.

TOGETHER THEY DECIDED THAT EXACTLY THIS EXPERIENCE CAN HELP THE WORLDS LEADERS, FOUNDERS, ENTREPRENEURS, CONSULTANTS AND CURIOUS MINDS EXPAND THEIR HORIZON, ESTABLISH THEIR OWN NETWORK IN SILICON VALLEY AND EVENTUALLY BECOME THE LEADERS OF THEIR INDUSTRY.

AUSTRIAN INNOVATION CENTER SILICON VALLEY WAS BORN.

In 2018, THE PROGRAM EXPANDED TO NEW YORK, LONDON, TEL AVIV, DUBAI, MUMBAI AND HONGKONG/SHENZHEN. FROM 2012 - 2020, SILICON VALLEY INSPIRATION TOURS & GLOBAL INSPIRATION TOURS CONDUCTED 160 INSPIRATION TOURS UNTIL THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC PUT BUSINESS TRAVEL INTO HYBERNATION.

ALREADY IN 2020, THE VIRTUAL INSPIRATION TOURS and THE TOURS IN VIRTUAL REALITY ENRICHED THE SPECTRUM OF THIS JOURNEY.

SINCE DECEMBER 2020, THE SILICON VALLEY INSPIRATION TOURS, AND THE GLOBAL INSPIRATION TOURS ARE BACK IN FULL OPERATION.

WHY | WHAT | HOW

THE TOUR EXPERIENCE

EACH INSPIRATION TOUR IS A CUSTOM EXPERIENCE, TAYLORED TO THE GROUP. IN A PROGRAM OF 4-5 MEETINGS PER DAY, THE GROUP WILL MEET INNOVATORS IN THE SAME INDUSTRY OR PEOPLE WORKING ON TECHNOLOGY THAT WILL VERY LIKELY IMPACT THE FUTURE OF THE INDUSTRY. 

​

ADDITIONALLY, THE GROUP WILL BE INTRODUCED TO THE PRINCIPLES OF "EXPONENTIAL ORGANIZATIONS" WITH A DAILY EXPONENTIAL BRIEFING ABOUT: INNOVATION MINDSET, MINDSET OF A DATACOMPANY, METHODS AND PRINCIPLES OF AN EXPONENTIAL ORGANIZATION, INDUSTRY-RELATED FUTURE SCENARIOS AND SOFT SKILLS OF FUTURE-FIT LEADERS.

​

IDEALLY, THE GROUPSIZE IS LIMITED TO TEN PARTICIPANTS. LARGER GROUPS MIGHT BENEFIT FROM A SPLIT-GROUP SOLUTION WHERE FOR SOME MEETINGS OF THE PROGRAM THE GROUP IS DIVIDED IN SUB-GROUPS.

​

ALL THE MEETINGS ARE IN-PERSON WITH THOUGHT LEADERS, MANAGERS, LEADERS, FOUNDERS OR EXECUTIVES.
