Ecosystem Enabling – Mapping & Connecting

Strategic Planning and Execution

Why It Matters

Innovation in science happens in ecosystems. Corporates, startups, investors, and academia need to work together to accelerate adoption. PwC found that open innovation partnerships reduce time-to-market by up to 30%, but most ecosystems remain fragmented. Connecting clusters and enabling cross-border collaboration unlocks faster growth for everyone involved.

The Challenge in Ecosystems

Despite strong activity, most ecosystems are disconnected and inefficient:

• Startups lack visibility: many innovations remain hidden from corporates.
  
• Corporates can’t identify partners: hard to filter credible startups.
  
• Investors face noise: flooded with deals, but little qualified flow.
  
• Clusters are siloed: initiatives focus regionally without global reach.
  

How I Help

I make ecosystems work by mapping, curating, and connecting the right players:

• Ecosystem Mapping: structured maps of startups, corporates, and investors.
  
• Curated Introductions: warm connections that lead to collaborations.
  
• Community Building: programs and events to showcase innovation.
  
• Cross-Cluster Partnerships: connect London, Basel, Boston, Singapore, and more.
