Innovation Ecosystems

A vibrant, well-connected ecosystem of people and resources is key for the development of an entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Starting a company is hard. It might be the hardest thing most people do in their entire lives.

In the department of Innovation Ecosystems, we focus on reducing barriers for new companies to get started and make sure that they are connected to the right resources at the right time. Every startup company faces a different journey, but often the founders have no idea of the next steps they should take on that journey. Our role is to support them on their journey so that they can do what all innovation-led startup companies do – birth the new, create jobs and build wealth for society.

Our department exists because startup ecosystems don’t cultivate themselves. How do we help cultivate our local ecosystem? Click on the resources below to learn more.
