Supercluster Capital Strategy Map
Innovation Clusters and Superclusters are on the rise around the world. But to be successful, these innovation clusters need to develop solid capital strategies. Few of them have significant experience in this field. This brings up questions like: How can an Innovation Supercluster build a capital strategy? How can an innovation cluster think strategically about capital? How can a cluster map out and understand the capital landscape? The Supercluster Capital Strategy Map allows clusters, cluster managers, and key stakeholders to answer these questions and develop a global capital strategy.

Main Outcomes
Understand How Risk Capital Works
In our work with ecosystems and clusters, few people truly understand how private risk capital works, and how it can be utilized for success across the ecosystem. From active business angels, Corporate Venture, small venture funds, and beyond, the Supercluster Capital Strategy Map helps you to learn the basics.
Go Beyond Your Home Turf
Many eco-systems and cluster programs tend to reach out to a handful of local investors, and stop there. That is a big mistake. The Capital Strategy Map invites you to explore investment opportunities beyond your home turf.
Build a Solid Capital Strategy
Most clusters would like to attract more investments, but their current approach can best be summarized as “hope”. By truly putting work into the Capital Strategy Map; learn it, build on it, implement programs, networks, hire people with clear responsibilities and metrics, train the core team and key stakeholders in the Capital Strategy Map; by doing this you build and implement a strategy, not just a hope.
Snapshot: Clean Energy
The Norwegian Solar Cluster has ambitions to build a truly global Innovation Supercluster. In summer 2018, the cluster’s management got their first introduction to the Capital Strategy Map. This quickly led to a solid capital strategy, hiring a dedicated Investor Relations Manager and, in 2019, launching their own accelerator and venture fund.
