The VISION Create a regional entrepreneurial ecosystem that will be a global beacon for innovative businesses. The MISSION Break down barriers for regional entrepreneurs that will become industry disruptors and game changers with global reach. We deliver this through a competitive process that brings together entrepreneurs, industry sponsors and accelerators. The STRATEGY Bring together, in an effective partnership, all elements required to create the acceleration process for entrepreneurs and start ups to fulfill their potential. Moving away from previous models of ad hoc and fragmented support, we create a complete ecosystem by bringing together knowledge, mentoring, coaching, sponsorship, funding, communication and networking in an integrated and methodological manner.
