A consulting, AI, and venture building firm working across the Middle East and North America.
Innavera partners with governments, corporations, and founders to turn ambitious ideas into scalable growth. We are a hybrid of a consulting firm, a technology partner, and a venture studio, so we can support an organization from first concept to market success.
Innavera was founded by Hasan Makansi after years in executive roles. He saw the same gap again and again: organizations had a clear vision but struggled to put it into practice. The space between ideation, strategy, and execution is where most ambition is lost. Innavera was built to close it.
Today our teams work across healthcare, education, government, and technology, with clients ranging from national governments and leading institutions to founders building their first company.
Our work rests on three pillars: consulting for strategy and execution, technology and AI for innovation and efficiency, and venture building for co-creating companies. Growth Partnership brings our digital capabilities together for growing companies.
The team that shapes the strategy also builds the product and helps grow the business behind it. Nothing is lost in a handover between advisors and builders.
Every engagement is built on a single principle: real impact, measured in results. We agree what success looks like before the work begins.
Working between North America and the Middle East has taught us to speak both innovation and implementation, and to connect partners across both markets.
We work with organizations across Canada, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, and the wider Middle East, and help companies grow between the two regions.
