How We Teach Differently

In every workshop or course, students tackle real challenges from actual startups, working alongside mentors and entrepreneurs to:

  • Solve problems no textbook can predict
  • Develop entrepreneurial and collaborative thinking

About

When AI knows the answers, the next generation must master the questions.
This belief is what led Ivana Brnovic Ogbu to create TryNex.

Ivana Brnovic Ogbu

Ivana Brnovic Ogbu is a former United Nations Sustainability Specialist turned impact entrepreneur, working at the forefront of education and innovation. A three-time founder across education and technology, she is driven by one mission: to connect young people to real innovation ecosystems — and prepare them to contribute meaningfully in a rapidly evolving world.

Based in Dubai, she works with schools and global partners to bring real-world problem-solving, systems thinking, and innovation into education — moving beyond traditional models toward learning that builds agency, creativity, and impact.

She is the author of a children's book series introducing systems thinking and sustainable development to students aged 6–11, and the founder of TryNex — where students work on real startup challenges, collaborate with founders, and build projects that translate into real opportunities, from portfolios to internships.

Her work sits at the intersection of sustainability, education transformation, and conscious leadership. She has spoken at the Forbes Middle East Sustainability Leaders Summit and TEDx, calling for a fundamental shift in education — from knowledge consumption to real-world creation and contribution.
