Genius Group Limited (“Genius Group” or the “Company”) (NYSE
American: GNS), a world-leading entrepreneur Edtech and education
group has today announced plans to introduce the NASA Technology
Transfer Program at its subsidiary - University of Antelope Valley
in Lancaster, California, USA.
University of Antelope Valley (UAV), recently acquired by Genius
Group, is partnering with NASA to create a unique learning
opportunity for engineering and business students. NASA’s
Technology Transfer University (T2U) program connects universities
with NASA-developed technology to give students the opportunity to
work with federal government research, innovations, and technology.
Student entrepreneurs build case studies with NASA’s patent
portfolio while learning about commercialization and licensing
opportunities. Students who want to take their ideas beyond the
classroom can utilize Startup NASA, a special program designed to
help early-stage start-ups commercialize NASA technology.
This partnership is a natural match for UAV with the Antelope
Valley being a hub for some of the worlds aeronautical leaders,
including NASA, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and the
UASF Plant 42 to name a few.
The University of Antelope Valley will officially roll out the
program on August 29th, 2022.
This announcement follows Genius Group’s acquisition of the
Lancaster-based UAV, which was completed on July 7, 2022, and was
the final of four IPO Acquisitions to be completed following the
Company’s IPO on the NYSE American on April 12, 2022.
NASA Technology Transfer Expansion/ T2X Administrator, Brian
Boogaard, commented:
“The Technology Transfer Office is excited to
partner with the University of Antelope Valley on the Technology
Transfer University (T2U) program. T2U gives business and STEM
students the opportunity to utilize NASA technologies in an
in-depth commercialization study, resulting in entrepreneurial
pitches and potential new business formation.”
UAV’s interim President, Dr. David J. Vierra,
commented:
“We are thrilled to be rolling out the NASA
Technology Transfer Program at the University of Antelope Valley.
The program will enable UAV’s business and engineering students to
embark on a truly unique learning opportunity and gives them a
chance to utilize their entrepreneurial skills with NASA’s
ground-breaking technology. This program also encourages students
to create a viable start-up business post-education, positioning
UAV as a true champion of 21st century, entrepreneurial
education.”
Roger James Hamilton, Founder & CEO of Genius Group,
said:
“The NASA Technology Transfer Program is an
incredibly exciting program for students. It’s refreshing to see a
program that not only allows students to utilize and explore
world-changing technology to further their education, but one that
also encourages entrepreneurship while doing so. The program will
allow UAV’s students to learn in a fun, engaging way while teaching
them invaluable entrepreneurship skills in the process – something
that Genius Group is truly passionate about.”

About Genius Group
Genius Group is a world leading entrepreneur Edtech and
education group, with a mission to disrupt the current education
model with a student-centered, life-long learning curriculum that
prepares students with the leadership, entrepreneurial and life
skills to succeed in today’s market. The group has over 2.9 million
students in 200 countries, ranging from ages 0 to 100. The group
includes four pre-IPO companies (the “Pre-IPO Group”), and four
companies that were acquired at the time of or shortly after the
IPO (the “IPO Acquisitions”).
The entrepreneur education system of our Pre-IPO Group has been
delivered virtually and in-person, in multiple languages, locally
and globally mainly via the Pre-IPO Group’s AI powered,
personalized GeniusU Edtech platform to adults seeking to grow
their entrepreneur and leadership skills.
The Pre-IPO Group includes Genius Group, GeniusU, Entrepreneurs
Institute and Entrepreneur Resorts. This group of entrepreneur
education companies has grown through organic growth and
acquisitions, with a focus on adding value to each company through
GeniusU, which is being developed to provide AI-driven personal
recommendations and guidance for each student. The Pre-IPO Group is
now expanding its education system to age groups beyond its current
adult audience, to children and young adults. The four IPO
Acquisitions are the first step towards this. They include
Education Angels, which provides early learning in New Zealand for
children from 0-5 years old; E-Square, which provides primary and
secondary school education in South Africa; University of Antelope
Valley, which provides vocational certifications and university
degrees in California, USA; and Property Investors Network, which
provides property investment courses and events in England, UK.
Genius Group’s post-IPO plan is to combine the education
programs of the IPO Acquisitions with its current education
programs and Edtech platform as part of one lifelong learning
system, and it has selected these acquisitions because they already
share aspects of the Genius curriculum and its focus on
entrepreneur education.
