Advance / Strategic Support
Identify the strengths and assets needed to create an innovation district
GIID's bespoke support program to help emerging districts and leading stakeholders that wish to replicate the model of innovation district.
GET IN TOUCH
Every year, GIID works with a small number of emerging districts. We help them determine if their existing geographies possess the necessary assets to evolve into an innovation ecosystem that thrives in a global competitive landscape.
Through a quantitative and qualitative process, GIID:
- Undertakes deep R&D analysis to understand your unique specializations and strong areas of commercialization
- Analyzes your existing geography to determine highly-magnetic R&D assets and place-based strengths to formulate the strongest avenue for achieving “the place and innovation nexus”
- Actively works with local stakeholders to design a bespoke governance structure, including new ways to generate independent revenue streams
- Uses tactical urbanism and placemaking techniques to build trust with the community and create quality places where people want to live, work, play and learn
- Works on all of these aspects together to create a framework for growth that applies to your unique geography
