Innogate provides gateways to innovation in companies, in knowledge institutions, in governmental and non-governmental organizations – and gateways to innovation in partnerships among these.
Innogate supports formation of public private partnerships as a means to accelerate the performance of innovation systems and clusters. The objective is to enable innovations and sustainable growth and development solutions to reach markets at higher speed and larger scale.
Since the mid 1990s Director and Founder of Innogate, Thomas Winther has assisted partners in advanced economies in Northern Europe; developing economies in Africa; and transition economies in Eastern Europe to pursue opportunities for increased value addition in production, competitiveness and growth.
It may be trivial to state that everybody has unique opportunities. It is less trivial to answer how your company, institution or organization can benefit from your opportunities?
