COVID-19 UAE
EXO CHALLENGE
COVID-19 has generated a massive level of attention that requires quick action using creative solutions that can be implemented globally in a fast way.
​
We believe in the power of people to change the world, so we are launching a non-for-profit and online initiative to put together amazing doers from all around the globe to overcome this challenge.
​
Also, we want to demonstrate that we can (and will) overcome many other challenges together in the future!
HOW WILL WE DO IT?
Global ExO Workshop
Inspired by the way that Exponential Organizations (ExO), such as Google, Airbnb or Netflix, run their organizations to scale in an exponential way, we will use ExO Methodologies in order to come up with highly scalable ExO initiatives.
​
On March 19th, we will run a 24-hour Global ExO Workshop with people (ExO Participants) all around the world in order to generate ExO Initiatives against the COVID-19 that could have a massive impact in a short period of time.
​
Also, we will leverage the power of Exponential Technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Internet of Things and 3D Printing, in order to use the latest progress of humanity for our own benefit.
​
After the Global ExO Workshop, the resulting ExO initiatives will be in an idea stage but may be developed and launched afterward with the support of our collaborators. Actually, the idea is not only thinking but also doing and making a real impact!
