For Universites 

We dive deeply into the essential elements that form the backbone of your dynamic startup and innovation environment. Our comprehensive evaluation encompasses an in-depth review of crucial aspects such as the depth and breadth of the talent pool, the (local) regulatory and policy landscape, existing support programs and initiatives, the vibrancy of the startup event scene, stakeholder analysis, infrastructure quality, availability of funding, and the accessibility to markets and growth opportunities. The analysis includes identifying key players and potential partners who are essential in cultivating a supportive environment. If desired, we conduct a comparative analysis using established global and local benchmarks to understand your ecosystem's position in the wider context. Our evaluation not only illuminates the current ecosystem dynamics but also meticulously identifies targeted opportunities for growth and strategic investment. By pinpointing key leverage points and actionable insights, this module lays a solid foundation for your advanced ecosystem development efforts.

We help you transform your region into a magnet for innovation and entrepreneurship that attracts talent and investment. In a collaborative approach, we design and implement actionable strategies and best practices focused on establishing and advancing key components of your ecosystem. This includes formulating insightful policy recommendations, launching impactful educational initiatives, considering infrastructure enhancements, and laying the groundwork for a thriving startup culture. Together, we will chart a clear path forward with a meticulously crafted implementation guide, defined milestones, derived strategic initiatives, and performance indicators to monitor progress. A strategic roadmap ensures seamless execution of strategies while tracking progress. Following an agile approach, the established processes will help you spot new opportunities and facilitate adjustments to advance the further evolvement of your ecosystem. We support you in positioning your region and ecosystem commensurately in rankings and startup ecosystem reports.

A culture of paying it forward, where collaboration, generosity, and mutual support are the cornerstones of growth and development, is essential in developing a startup and innovation ecosystem. We begin by conducting a comprehensive assessment of your ecosystem's stakeholders, identifying key players and potential partners who are essential in cultivating a supportive environment. Our team specializes in designing and implementing events and support schemes that encourage networking, knowledge sharing, and collaboration. These initiatives are aimed at strengthening the bonds within the community, facilitating unexpected connections, and sparking innovation. We actively work to build partnerships between government bodies, investors, academic institutions, and entrepreneurs. By bridging these gaps and fostering synergies, we create a robust framework for sustained cooperation and support. The success of a startup ecosystem hinges not just on innovation and entrepreneurship but also on the strength of its enabling community spirit.

There are several significant initiatives and grants to support regional startup ecosystems in Europe.

We can help you in spotting suitable programs for you, make sure you meet the prerequisites and build the foundations, and assist you throughout the grant application process up to implementing the new measures. Our support spans from offering guidance on your grant application to collaboratively developing comprehensive project plans and application documents with you.
