Our vision & beliefs
Our vision
Innovation ecosystems are more relevant than ever. Global economic and political uncertainties have triggered the need for economic systems that are sustainable and inclusive by nature. Clusters and Innovation ecosystems have a powerful role in igniting collaborative solutions contributing to a long-term healthy society.
Successful ecosystems policies, however, require a sound analysis of the economic building blocks present in a region to realize the potential embedded in an ecosystem. Based on this, a carefully designed ecosystem strategy and subsequent effective management of the support organization are needed to convert good intentions into reality.
For companies, a concise analysis of the own expectations and a deep understanding of the characteristics of the various ecosystems are needed to navigate through these systems in a successful manner.

Our beliefs
Innovation requires a context of engagement and interconnection between people, stakeholders, and ecosystems in order to flourish — in other words, an innovation ecosystem.
Supporting an innovation ecosystem requires a thorough understanding of the economic landscape – including a shared vision on relevant future developments.
A clear strategy offering guidelines which systems are most beneficial for individual companies and how to navigate in order to realise the set goals become a key success factor.
Developing and navigating ecosystems is a people’s business. Knowing how one can contribute, but also understanding underlying drivers to do so are crucial.
