Build better innovation clusters

Equip yourself and your team with a proven methodology and full toolkit to develop a strong cluster program.

Clusters are facing a paradigm shift

The world is stuck in an old paradigm. Our research shows most of the world has very limited understanding of Innovation Superclusters.

Most policymakers, cluster managers and national innovation agencies work within an established and outdated understanding of clusters. Anchored in academia-industry-government, or the triple Helix framework, this framework is fundamentally insufficient to drive economic growth and transformation at scale.

Innovation Superclusters are…

Engines
Magnets
Collaboration Networks
Solving industry-level Challenges
Partnerships
Trust-based collaboration platforms
