NovaImpact was founded from a simple belief:
Where you are born should not decide how far you can go.
Across Iran, Ukraine, Afghanistan, and other regions shaped by conflict and instability, there are people with extraordinary minds and relentless drive. Scientists working in silence. Founders building in uncertainty.
Researchers studying by candlelight. Visionaries carrying ideas that could change the world, if only someone opened the door.
We exist to find those people.
We are here to recognize brilliance.
To stand behind it.
To invest in it.
Because talent does not disappear in difficult places, it becomes sharper, stronger, more determined. And we refuse to let it go unseen.
We are excited to open applications for a one-of-a-kind program, bringing together exceptional individuals from 17 diverse countries. This program is designed to identify, nurture, and empower the next generation of innovators and leaders. Whether you’re from a bustling city or a region shaped by challenges, we believe in your potential to create impact.
Each year, only 20 seats are made available for this exclusive program. This ensures a select group of talented individuals from around the world can join a community of like-minded changemakers. With limited spots, the program offers personalized support and resources, creating an environment where you can truly thrive.
NovaImpact was founded by entrepreneurs that come from similar unstable places, who remember what it feels like to build something with uncertainty pressing on every side.
They remember the doors that stayed closed.
The emails that went unanswered.
The feeling that one opportunity, just one, could change everything.
They also remember the person who believed in them when it mattered most.
NovaImpact exists because someone once took a chance and believed in them.
NovaImpact is that belief, passed on.
We understand the unique challenges faced by individuals in sensitive regions. All our activities are conducted with the utmost discretion and a commitment to ensuring the safety and security of those we support.
We prioritize building trust and providing a secure environment where talent can flourish.
That conflict does not define a human being.
That potential should never be wasted because of politics or geography.
That hope is an act of strength.
Investing in the right person changes more than one life.
That tomorrow can be rebuilt by those brave enough to imagine it.
For those selected, NovaImpact may provide:
Registration for 2026 is now open. Funding is limited. Places are limited.
We understand the sensitivity of where many of our applicants come from.
Discretion is not optional. It is fundamental.
We protect your information. Your security comes first.
We create a space where ambition no longer has to whisper.
Where talent can rise without fear.
Where people who have carried too much alone finally have support.
If you carry exceptional talent — and a vision that refuses to leave you — we want to hear from you. Send us:
