FROM IMPACT TO LEGACY FOR GOVERNMENTS
We help governmental organisations move from social impact at community scale to long-term population-level change. This is the road from impact to legacy.
Cities
Smart cities are cities filled with smart talent. Our city-wide programmes consist of talent accelerators for key clusters and young founder programmes to drive innovation for inclusive economic growth.
Councils
We partner with councils to convene business, educational and community leaders to accelerate and grow the impact we can create. We build for both immediate impact and population-level scale from the ground up.
Clusters
We provide exceptional young talent and young founders to make clusters thrive. We work with your local experts to develop the talent accelerator that will drive inclusive growth. Whether that’s about getting girls into Cyber, or getting teenagers to understand Photonics, we are the talent partner for your cluster.
