entrepreneurs using exponential growth principles and technologies
to scale their enterprises rapidly. The components of the

and principles into Genius Group’s Entrepreneur Certification

Web3 tools, will be showcased as successful case studies for others
to learn from, while benefiting from the knowledge sharing and
resource sharing with other finalists globally.
Roger Hamilton, CEO of Genius Group said “The
power of our global community has always been driven by the case
studies and knowledge sharing of our entrepreneurs as they put into
practice the growth tools they learn via our GeniusU Edtech
platform. In this new Age of AI, there is no more timely a toolkit
to add to GeniusU than the ExO Model. We are excited to be
launching this initiative globally in partnership with OpenExO and
to highlight the best case studies from around the world of the
entrepreneurs harnessing today’s exponential technologies.”
Salim Ismail, Founder of OpenExO said “Over the
last ten years we have brought the ExO model to leading Fortune 500
companies, as well as to governments and institutions who recognize
the need to adopt new models to keep up with the exponential growth
of technology and the accelerating pace of change. Through this
partnership with Genius Group, we are looking forward to bringing
these same proven principles to entrepreneurs globally, from
