An innovation ecosystem refers to a loosely interconnected network of companies and other entities that work cooperatively to develop new products and services. An ecosystem is complicated and has many different platforms available to support entrepreneurs and early-stage ventures. The specific components that may be appropriate for any given ecosystem will vary, but will generally include:
- Education
- Location & Events
- Mentorship
- Incubation & Acceleration
- Funding
- Talent
We are building an environment in which innovators and entrepreneurs can develop and launch solutions to solve real-world problems, faster. This stimulates the development of expertise in new areas, helps diversify the economy, and allows businesses to meet their customers where they are. An innovation ecosystem provides the means to create economic stability and resource sharing.
