Every country has brilliant people. Few have the machinery that turns them into companies.

We help governments build that machinery: the agencies, funds and campuses at the heart of an innovation ecosystem.

  • How do you grow startups where there are few?
  • How do you turn foreign investment into local firms and skills?
  • How do you keep your best scientists and founders, and bring others home?
  • Who should run a new agency, and how do you hire them?
  • How do you get approved money to the work?
  • How do you know when a programme needs to change course?
