Ecosystem Development Academy

Startup Commons launching Ecosystem Development Academy
Startup Commons is launching Ecosystem Development Academy based on our over 10 years of field experience and working 'on the ground' with over 30 startup ecosystems around the world since 2014, varying from early stage to more mature levels.

Ecosystem development as an 'industry' is evolving with significant impact on the economic development and prosperity of societies at large. Its performance is a key engine to generate new and more innovative companies, attract talent and investment and employment fitting the needs that digital economy demands. Startup ecosystems are the "R&D departments" of Smart Cities.

It becomes more necessary than ever to understand the mechanisms and dynamics of startup ecosystems:

Founders looking for co-founders, talent looking for ideas and support, investors looking to invest, companies looking for partners, lenders looking to provide working capital, corporates looking new innovations to existing problems and opportunities for their customers and markets.

The list goes on and on.

What is the Ecosystem Development Academy about?

During our past five years, we have globally validated that those looking after the ecosystem development are missing a holistic structure and digital solutions that are able to connect all the dots and bring more efficiency to all ecosystem stakeholders.

Few of the key challenges are the lack of structuring the knowledge that already exists out there are: 

• vague and random terminology among ecosystem actors,
• how to be heard in the middle of the noise,
• how to stop wasting limited resources and stop "reinventing the wheel"
• how to align agendas and implement a real working model as part of a multi stakeholder environment
• how to measure ecosystem development and track impact and output measures
• and last but not least, how to leverage digital to enable ecosystem data collection, access and analytics that can support decision making for better policies, funding instruments, new services, activities, etc.

In our mission to scale innovation entrepreneurship globally via ecosystem development, - our commitment is to deploy the most complete globally neutral training program in the world for ecosystem development, - to educate and empower the current and future generation of ecosystem builders, developers and operators, along with any individuals and entities who focus on economic development via entrepreneurship, innovation for new job creation and to attract investments. Including actors from function like policy makers, incubators, accelerators, corporates, universities, investors, tech parks, business schools, researchers, etc.

Through a series of four live webinars, we seek to accelerate the pace of ecosystem development and growth by empowering participants with practical framework, globally validated knowledge, KPI's and tools for ecosystem orchestration to better support innovation entrepreneurship and increase the likelihood of generating more innovative companies in volume.
