DEVELOPING INNOVATION PRECINCTS AND COMPANIES
Are you thinking of innovating your company or being part of your regional economic development strategy?
Companies are now working in clusters and are collaborating in innovative ways in order to survive and grow. We explore various innovation strategies and models such as Science Parks and Innovation Precincts to foster organisation clusters. These cluster are supported by government and involve working with local municipalities to transform their regions and grow their economies.
