An invitation for Summit Partners

In April 2025, The Global Institute on Innovation Districts (GIID) will hold its inaugural Global Summit at Innovation District Monterrey in Mexico. Innovation District Monterrey is a new member of our Steering Committee and is the first innovation district to form in Mexico.  

The inaugural GIID Global Summit brings innovation district leaders together with changemakers, visionaries, and investors from around the world to chart the growth and evolution of districts as problem-solving geographies. 

GIID is inviting select leading organizations to play an integral role in our inaugural Global Summit—as program contributors and Summit Partners. 

Our focus is the future 

The GIID Global Summit is a unique forum pushing key issues—such as economic inequity, addressing climate, and de-risking the economy. The Summit is a platform to forge new partnerships and alliances in a culturally-enriching, professionally engaging environment. 

A Summit Partnership is best suited if your organization seeks:

• to gain access to a highly select group of visionaries, changemakers, and leaders in a network of innovation districts worldwide
• to engage with leadership carrying unique skills and capabilities working in and across innovation districts
• to expand ones business network and opportunities
• to showcase your groups expertise with innovation districts
• to gain prominent visibility via the GIID Global Summit branding and publications
• to receive leadership spotlight in the GIID newsletter and social media channels

And specifically for Monterrey based groups who are:

• invested in the State of Nuevo Leon’s emerging innovation boom
• committed to the success of Innovation District Monterrey
• connected locally, regionally, and globally with initiatives and ideas to share

For innovation ecosystems of companies, organizations and investors this Summit is the direct avenue to:

• meet innovation district leaders from around the world
• learn how innovation districts support industry and others to advance and scale ideas for the global market
• gain access to the expertise of industry and innovation district leaders, and those from within the ecosystem of innovation districts worldwide via direct, in-person, active engagement
