About
Liberating and Democratising Knowledge
At the heart of House of Wisdom lies a vision that transcends mere knowledge exchange. It’s about building a community where individuals from various walks of life converge to share insights, experiences, innovations and create opportunities. Our mission is rooted in the collective advancement of humanity, echoing the transformative spirit of the original House of Wisdom in Baghdad, the illustrious beacon of knowledge and discovery that illuminated the world from the 8th to the 14th century.
“There has been a long-acknowledged problem regarding the lack of interaction between the worlds of business and academia. House of Wisdom is our response to this gap, aiming to forge a global coalition of diverse, brilliant minds committed to solving the most pressing challenges of our time.”
John Kelley-Quinn
Founder & CEO
The New Era of Wisdom
Inspired by the the magnificence of the House of Wisdom in medieval Baghdad, a centre for learning and ideas, we envision a modern iteration of this epicenter of enlightenment. Our digital age offers unparalleled opportunities for knowledge dissemination, idea exchange, and collective problem-solving. Our House of Wisdom seeks to harness these capabilities, creating a global community for intellectual growth, meaningful debates, and ground breaking innovations.
“By creating a platform to share knowledge from a wide range of backgrounds; we’re empowering individuals and communities to enact tangible change, leveraging technology and human intelligence to create a better tomorrow.”
