We are building the world's smartest source of global education intelligence to power decisions that matter.
Why we're here
We believe public-private innovation will power the future of humanity.
Humanity has the potential for a long and bright future. Meanwhile, technology and globalisation are creating rapid and complex transformations. Our mission is to help countries, institutions, firms and investors adapt to and thrive with this fast change, sustainably. And to support them with data-driven intelligence to power decisions that matter.
In 2017, we saw grossly under-served growth engines, some of the world’s most important public-private industries, such as education, lacking a focused, trusted and global, data-driven source.
We saw countries struggling to initiate and sustain digital transformation in for-purpose sectors. Second class citizens to purely commercial industries, public and private leaders lacked benchmarks and case studies to guide policy and investment.
We saw institutions, entrepreneurs and investors wrestling with innovation and impact. Applying generic data and templates to public-private industries with nuance and context that forced organizations to make unacceptable trade-offs between quality and growth.
We saw a need for a different kind of technology, and we knew it would take a different kind of company to build it. That’s why we founded HolonIQ.
Holon (philosophy). ὅλον. An evolving and self organizing system. Where each holon is simultaneously a whole and part of something bigger.
That’s how we think about public-private innovation.
Our Values
We first wrote these four values when we started HolonIQ. Not for marketing purposes, but to describe how we aspired every day to operate and list the behaviors we thought it would take to build the world’s smartest source of global intelligence. From time to time we revisit this list to see if it still holds true. We hope it does—and that you hold us to that.
