About Mia Jafari

My work aims to transform corporate cultures by designing innovation programs that tackle real challenges holistically. My upcoming book “Collaborating with Life” (October 2025) shares my research and insights that explore how innovation starts with an inner journey and how, when combined with technology, this mindset can create solutions that honour both our creativity and life itself.

Since 2010, I have been designing, planning, and executing innovation and entrepreneurship programs for universities, foundations, and banks, including the University of Arts London, Emirates Foundation, Impact Hub, Abu Dhabi Arts and Music Foundation, Commercial Bank of Dubai, and Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank. My company Fluid Labs, founded in 2023, builds innovation systems that benefit people, planet and profits.

Unlike traditional approaches, I’ve found transformation sticks when people feel truly inspired, supported and aligned with a vision they believe in. I aim to break down complex tech and business ideas into practical contexts that help everyone think like entrepreneurs. I am driven by unlocking creativity through wellbeing, building future-fit business models, and forming partnerships where organizations, people and life can flourish together.
