INNOVATION BROKERS

Innovation brokers serve as the critical connectors in a network of individuals, organizations, and institutions that support entrepreneurs and companies at different stages of the business development process. They work across disciplines to ensure that a broad range of resources and expertise are accessible and strategically aligned. Collaborative Economics has documented the best practices of innovation brokers, created a national curriculum to train innovation brokers, helped brokers at the regional and state levels develop action plans, and developed innovation indexes to measure progress.
