Message from Roger
What a year 2022 has turned out to be - many volatile months with regards to war, politics, extreme weather, money markets and property markets. Whilst we individually may not be able to control those events, we can however look for the opportunities that usually arise with any crisis. Here at Genius Group, we’ve been doing just that by completing an IPO on the New York Stock Exchange earlier this year and acquiring five companies: Education Angels in New Zealand and Property Investors Network in the UK, E-Squared Education Enterprises in South Africa, the University of Antelope Valley in California and Revealed Films in Utah. After having acquired the University of Antelope Valley, we launched a $1 million scholarship fund for students to ensure an inclusive learning environment and partnered with NASA to introduce the NASA technology transfer program and create a unique opportunity for engineering and business students.
We’ve hosted a number of global events throughout the year, with our largest audiences ever, including, to name a few, our Global Impact Investor Summit with Brian Jung and Jaspreet Singh where more than 20,000 participants joined the event, Wealth Dynamics Masters held live in Bali and most recently the Global Entrepreneur Summit where also more than 20,000 participants joined the event and where world-class leaders and strategists such as Peter Diamandis, co-founder of Singularity University and the X Prize, Salim Ismail, author of Exponential Organizations and founder of OpenExo, and Verne Harnish, founder of the YEO and co-founder of Scaling UpFounder of the X Prize Foundation, Verne Harnish, and Salim Ismail, Co-Founder of OpenEXO, joined us to share their insights and advice.
Our subsidiary GeniusU completed a seed round to support the development of its Metaversity to extend its courses and programs to interactive learning environments in the metaverse, with students and faculty connecting and learning in global classrooms and virtual 3D environments. I am also very proud to say that our edtech arm, GeniusU, was named a Singapore top 10 emerging giant in a KPMG report in July 2022, which is a testament of our continued growth and global impact.
We’ve also had a number of highly experienced people join our leadership team such as Erez Simha as our Chief Financial Officer and Rav Karwal as our Chief Revenue Officer and our Board of Directors such as Richard Berman and Timothy Murphy, ex Deputy Director of the FBI.
We have more exciting plans to share with you next year and I will be starting a regular blog to keep you updated on my news, thoughts and activities. But for now, I’d like to wish you and your family a very Happy New Year!

One of the participants, Jeff Taylor rated it five stars saying that it exceeded his expectations on delivery, quality of content, usefulness of content, visual aids and overall. He was particularly pleased with the programme presenter Andy Haynes who delivers the programme and he gave it a 10 out of 10.
Entrepreneur Resorts
Genius Central Singapore was recognised as a ‘Business for Good’ by Architects of Life, who they have partnered with for over two years. Shah Hamzah, General Manager, was presented a hamper and certificate by the Minister of State. Architects of Life is a social enterprise which develops youth at risk and ex-offenders and they run ‘Triad Trails’ – a very unique tour led by ex-gangsters turned good. They go through Chinatown, ending up at Genius Central, which is in the same area, for a meal at the end of the tour.
