OUR STORY
Innovate at its core is the same today as it was 10 years ago - to encourage local entrepreneurialism which sparks the local ecosystem growing young companies, new business and thought leaders as well as new technology. A spin-out of the programme has seen Innovate build its founders and entrepreneurs capability along the way.
Just like a spinning-top, the Innovate logo signifies precision, balance, agility and speed. When building capacity and capability in a start-up and founder, Innovate uses lean methodology to clearly articulate the start-up’s value proposition through to product validation and build. Each of these tools are showcased in the circle; nine steps to gain momentum, learn at pace and measure results.
The faster Innovate can help the start-up turn the fly-wheel, or spin the top, the more success the start-up and founder has at achieving scale.
The ripple effect of support, network, collective thought and shared experience are characteristics synonymous with the Innovate programme, and represented here in the innovate logo.
“ Innovate’s core mission is for our founders to fall in love with the problem, then validate a market and create a proposition. Every year we are blown away by the quality of the ideas but more so the people behind the ideas.”
