Ecosystems
Developing innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems
An innovation ecosystem does not emerge from a single programme: it is built phase by phase, connecting talent, startups, companies, investors and territory. That is why at Inlea we developed our own seven-phase model, which Inlea Foundation has applied since 2008 alongside public and private organisations.
The Inlea model: seven phases of an ecosystem
- 01Awareness and engagementAwakening entrepreneurial vocation and mobilising young, well-trained talent.
- 02Training and incubationProviding method, mentors and support to new projects.
- 03AccelerationHelping startups grow faster and with less risk.
- 04Connecting with companiesPutting startups in front of industry and major events.
- 05Connecting with investorsTraining investors and opening the door to the best startups.
- 06InternationalisationTaking startups and companies to global markets.
- 07Ecosystem buildingIntegrating every stage to build complete ecosystems.
How we support an organisation
- 01
Diagnosis
We start from what already works in the territory and measure the gaps holding back its growth: investment, internationalisation, acceleration, open innovation, leadership or diversity.
- 02
Ecosystem design
We define the pillars to be built around that asset: acceleration, international alliances, flagship events, talent communities, open innovation, scouting or investment vehicles.
- 03
Phased roll-out
We start with the pillars of immediate impact and consolidate the rest, together with the organisation and its partners, until the ecosystem runs on its own.
