How to build a successful innovation ecosystem

On 18 October 2022, the Policy Learning Platform is pleased to invite you to a workshop on Innovation Ecosystems in Brno, Czech Republic!

What it will be about

This event will put the spotlight on building successful innovation ecosystems. Throughout guest lectures, interactive sessions, networking and study visits you will get to explore the regional policies that contribute to thriving innovation ecosystems.

The EU states that it “aims to create more connected and efficient innovation ecosystems to support the scaling of companies, encourage innovation and stimulate cooperation among national, regional and local innovation actors”.

Why is this important? An innovation ecosystem is a place where start-ups, public sector organisations, academia and the not-for-profit sectors work together to shape new, purposeful solutions to challenges and opportunities. Every actor in an innovation ecosystem depends on the success of the other organisations.

Agenda 

The event will take place at the Central European Institute of Technology.
