We would like to invite suppliers to identify organisations which share a similar remit of encouraging and facilitating economic growth through innovation networking. Through this study we are hoping to find out how they are structured, how they are funded, how they operate and what lessons of best practice we might learn from them. We are interested to find out how the identified organisations differ depending on the political and economic environments in which they operate in and what makes them successful in that context.
