Leveraging the Innovation Ecosystem Stakeholder Model
The Corporate Innovation Program leverages the Innovation Ecosystem Stakeholder Model. This program was built upon this model, and continues to refer to it as tenets are developed and custom curriculums are built.
The Innovation Ecosystem Stakeholder Model focuses on 5 stakeholders: government, corporate, academia, risk capital, and the entrepreneurial community. It aims to inspire people who care about innovation in a certain region identify the strengths of the five stakeholders and how they interact.
