We build bridges with innovation ecosystems
As a globally operating innovation agency, we create tangible results with our Clients by connecting governments, corporates, investors and industries with startup and innovation ecosystems.
Solving a universal global problem
Connecting startup and innovation ecosystems with the establishment, being either public or private, is by nature very difficult and resource-demanding.
Why we do it
We believe that humanity’s greatest challenges will be solved where innovation, people, and vision meet, and we aim to use our unique position to facilitate this.
What we do
Facilitating vertical innovation by providing private and public entities access to global and local startup/innovation ecosystems and networks.
How we do it
By engaging in projects with private and public entities using an existing product portfolio, proprietary software, global networks and data.
