About The Global Institute on Innovation Districts

In response to global demand, The Global Institute on Innovation Districts has been established by a group of influential leaders—researchers, policymakers and practitioners—active in the growth and advancement of innovation districts. We provide in-depth research, analysis, and consultation on innovation districts around the globe. Driven by broad economic, cultural and demographic trends, cities around the world are witnessing the emergence of innovation districts—places that sit at the intersection of innovation, entrepreneurship, creativity, and placemaking. Innovation districts are small, walkable areas where anchor institutions, firms, labs, and other actors collaborate as a collective to increase their competitive potential. This shared commitment to “collaborate to compete” is one of the defining characteristics of innovation districts that The Global Institute on Innovation Districts supports and advances. Whether in early stage or more advanced, innovation districts must leverage economic, place, networking and leadership assets to drive long-term economic outcomes. Among its portfolio of work, The Global Institute is creating a global network of innovation districts, giving them tailored support and a platform to share ideas and strategies—all to strengthen their position as they navigate crucial decisions, opportunities, and challenges through all stages of their growth and advancement.
