Ecosystem analysis

Understand your region's potential and how to strengthen it

Let´s talk

Build on what makes your location competitive

Identify what's working in your regional innovation ecosystem and develop a strategic plan to attract more companies and talent.

Why do some regions become innovation hubs while others struggle? It usually comes down to a few key things: strong connections between research institutions and companies, access to capital and expertise, efficient support structures, and the right talent. Our ecosystem analysis systematically maps these success factors for your region. We compare you against similar locations to show exactly where you have advantages and where you have real opportunity to grow.
