It anticipates future opportunities and challenges for innovators, advocates for innovators with local and national government and fosters a culture of innovation through peer-to-peer networking and evangelism. The Network’s ultimate goal is an interconnected innovation ecosystem where entrepreneurs and SMEs can easily find the innovation partners, opportunities, funding and resources they need to make their ideas a reality.
