Innovation Collective exists to provide inspiration, education and "entrepreneurization" to towns around the world. We help these towns reframe how they view their economy and rally the citizens to build new companies around that new vision. Our system has produced companies that have gone from idea to partnered with fortune 100 companies in less than 12 months. We believe the ideas that spark inspiration, or the breakthrough in ingenuity, requires a catalyst. That the best ideas come when we’re exposed to new ways of thinking, and that visionary entrepreneurs best succeed in a community that encourages them to not only take risks, but to dream big. Innovation Collective is about lighting the internal pilot light of entrepreneurial communities, and then stoking the fire. We educate. We create room for dialogue. We develop spaces for us all to thrive. We’re here to grow an ecosystem that can support those with the aspiration for something more, and are bringing together the great minds of our area who dare to think different. It all starts with the conversations we have over a cup of coffee, that idea scribbled on the back of a napkin, or the internal conviction that we can be more. For us, job creation is not a top down policy- job creation is a grassroots movement that we all have a part in. That movement is us. That movement is Innovation Collective.
