- Breaking down barriers as a person from an underrepresented group (for example but not exclusively, as a woman, as a non-binary or trans-person, as a person of colour, or as a neurodiverse individual) to succeed in bringing an innovation to market.
- Using their platform to elevate and support innovation in under-represented groups.
- Bringing an innovation to market that breaks down barriers to have real social impact and enable inclusion.
