About Us
Our mission:
To accelerate the global diffusion of innovations.
The WIC Group is an independent international organization dedicated to accelerating meaningful innovations through conferences, consulting, and capital. With a focus on international expansion, we enable start-ups, growth companies, and Fortune 2000 to scout, launch, and distribute new technologies, products, and services worldwide and create positive economic, social, and ecological change at scale.
Founded by Jean-Bernard Guerrée, the WIC Group has run two successful businesses since 2002; international conferences (with the World Investment Conferences as flagship) and Avisé Partners. The World Investment Conferences convened high-level participants from business, government, and academia for a rich dialogue and networking on global innovations. Avisé Partners offered business development and operational support for growth companies expanding outside of their domestic markets and large companies willing to boost their of innovations culture and ecosystem.
