As the Innovation Hot Spot designation it’s our responsibility to convene and connect the stakeholders that make up our ecosystem. Throughout the year we partner and host numerous events and meetups designed for the regional ecosystem including service providers, investors, entrepreneurship educators, and economic development organizations.
On the right, working with Sierra Learning Solutions we mapped out the Hudson Valley entrepreneurship ecosystem which will be published in their book, Higher Education's Ecosystems, expected to publish in 2025.
Below are some of the examples of our ecosystem programming and work.
Collaboration Corners
Through our signature program the HV Venture Hub hosts collaboration corners which are structured sharing sessions for a specific group of participants, conducted in a round robin design to ensure multiple points of information and perspective are shared, and to deliver specific outcomes.
