Get in Touch
GIID advises government to:
Identify areas in their national, state or regional landscape that possess the strongest assets to advance an innovation district.
Determine what analysis is critical to ensure local actors have the ambition and capacity to advance a place-based innovation model.
Design a process that engages universities, medical institutions and other R&D actors to identify unique R&D strengths and particular gaps limiting their potential.
Increase the impact and commercialization of their work by leveraging the model of innovation districts.
Outline their unique role in advancing districts, such as changes in specific policies, the co-design of strategic or framework plans, and targeted government funding to address crucial gaps.
