Our mission

Building Capacity

The IISAAK OLAM Foundation creates space for ideation and innovation. We function, in part, as an incubator for projects in their pilot or early phase of development. When certain projects reach a point where they can “fly the nest”, we support their launch and continue to engage as an active partner. Examples include the IPCA Knowledge Basket and the Pacific IPCA Innovation Centre.
