Innovator Pages

To publish an Innovator Page, the following verification steps must be completed:

1. Identity or Business Verification:

Understanding Verification Requirements for Innovator Pages

To appear in the verified Innovators Feed, your Page must pass both identity/business verification and innovation verification.

1. Identity or Business Verification

• Individuals must complete KYC (identity verification).
• Companies must complete KYB (business verification), including:
  • A valid company website
  • A corporate email address (must be verified)

2. Innovation Verification

Your innovation must meet INSPIRED’s Purposeful Innovation Framework, which includes:

3. Alignment with Global Challenges (SDGs)

• Must directly address at least one SDG
• Requires a clear problem-solution statement explaining:
  • The problem tackled
  • How the innovation solves it
  • Why it’s unique or better than existing options

4. Disruption & Uniqueness

• Must introduce a new approach, technology, or model
• Should improve existing solutions by 10x or more
• Must open new possibilities, not just optimize current ones

5. Scalable Impact

• Must be scalable or replicable
• Should aim for long-term, systemic change
• Must have a sustainability path (not necessarily profit-driven)

Once both verification steps are approved, your Page becomes visible in the Innovators Feed.
