Welcome to Kurdistan Innovation Institute
KII was founded on the initiative of Kurdistan Prime Minister H.E. Masrour Barzani, who is determined to encourage Kurdistan’s citizens, especially the younger generation, to pursue their ideas, establish their own businesses, and imagine a better future.
KII is where research, innovation, and entrepreneurship intersect and flourish. We support ideas and companies seeking to invent or adopt new technologies that can help the Kurdistan Region realize a more forward-looking and sustainable economy that embraces new technologies and business trends.
Human-centered innovation is the heart of what we do, and we believe that the following sectors will configure the decades ahead: renewable energy, health, transportation, fashion, IT, and automation. Innovators with ideas in other sectors, however, should not be dissuaded from applying.
As an innovation Institute, we are here to help to budding entrepreneurs and inventors realize their dreams.
How do we create innovation?
Through KII, H. E. Prime Minister Masrour Barzani seeks to elevate Kurdistan’s human infrastructure by facilitating innovation. The work began in June 2021, when KII’s founders began designing an innovation model that will create new products and confect a more sustainable and future-oriented economy in Kurdistan.
