What is XYnnovate?
Our name XYnnovate [ksɪn.ə.veɪt] blends the word "innovate" with the mathematical variables X and Y, symbolizing the unknown future and our company purpose. "Y" signifies our curiosity for the deeper 'Why?', emphasizing organizational purpose and meaningful pursuits. Meanwhile, "X" captures our spirit of venturing into the unknown, embodying both the adventurous exploration and strategic exploitation.
