Vision & Mission
Our Vision
The knowledge economy is the real gateway to building a diversified and sustainable Iraqi economy that can compete regionally and globally and remain resilient in the face of crises and rapid global change.
Our Mission
To rely on the wealth of Iraqi minds as the bridge that unites government institutions and policymakers, private sector companies and investors, universities and research centers, and Iraqi competencies at home and abroad, in order to build a national innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem that contributes to economic diversification and sustainable job creation.
Our Philosophy
Transition from Rentier to Knowledge Economy
The oil-based rentier economy is no longer sufficient for Iraq's future. The Council believes that a knowledge-based economy is the strategic path towards building a diversified and sustainable economy driven by innovation, technology, and human capital.
Continuous Innovation
The Council views continuous and renewed innovation not as a luxury, but as a necessity to keep pace with global changes, absorb emerging technologies, and respond to the challenges of sustainable development.
A Unifying Bridge
The Council acts as a unifying bridge connecting government, private sector, universities and research centers, and Iraqi diaspora and experts, under a single vision for building a cohesive national innovation ecosystem where strategic thinking and practical implementation go hand in hand.
