What We Offer
Feasibility and Scoping
We start by helping you understand what’s possible. We assess demand, map stakeholders, and review existing assets. This phase gives you a clear case for action—or a reason to pause.
Strategy and Positioning
Once the case is clear, we help you shape the offer: who it’s for, what it delivers, and how it’s different. We work with you to define the cluster or hub’s purpose, value, and position in the market.
Business Models and Governance
You’ll need a structure that works—from governance to funding. We help design practical models that bring partners together, support operations, and allow for sustainable growth.
Stakeholder Engagement
Clusters and hubs thrive on strong relationships. We engage businesses, researchers, policymakers and support providers in shaping the vision and building commitment. For businesses, this means creating real opportunities to lead and benefit from the hub from day one.
Programme and Space Design
Whether you’re planning a physical space or virtual platform, we help shape the offer. This includes workspace, events, accelerators, talent programmes or testbed facilities—whatever meets your goals and local need.
Launch and Early Delivery
We support your team through the early stages of delivery—from recruitment and activation to marketing and operations. Our goal is to help you get momentum quickly, while building solid foundations.
