The Innovation Economy can be defined many ways. We’ve chosen to focus on five broad disciplines that businesses and supporting organizations leverage to create real value for customers, employees, investors, and more. Together, the pursuit of these disciplines accelerate the economic growth of communities, including New Albany:
Applications, inventions, and solutions that solve problems, create new opportunities, and improve efficiencies. We aim to promote and leverage technology in a broad sense including in digital products/services, communication, transportation, energy, the environment, agriculture, health, life sciences, advanced materials, and any other technologies with promise for great value creation!
Ideas, products, or processes that solve problems, leverage opportunities, and create value for customers, employees, founders, other leaders, and investors.
Tools and techniques to increase revenues, profits, organizational capabilities, and individual talents/skills that make it easier to improve performance, and scale businesses.
Best practices, habits, and methods of accessing resources that improve success rates for new business ventures – especially those with great potential to deliver sustainable economic growth, scale rapidly, and create attractive professional opportunities for many.
Approaches to focusing corporate resources on “doing good”—for employees, communities, and the entire business ecosystem.
TIGER Events, as a rule, are designed to provide business leaders with knowledge and skills needed to launch and grow highly successful products and valuable businesses that help create economic opportunity for the community-at-large.
Innovate New Albany aims to serve a broad community – everyone who contributes to creating and sustaining a thriving economy.
TIGER Events are intended to be valuable for:
The goal of every TIGER Event is to improve participants’ ability to achieve success in their business pursuits. Each event offers the opportunity to:
Learn from the event’s speaker(s), our TIGER Talent, who are leaders in their fields.
Make and renew friendships with like-minded professionals who share an interest in an event topic.
Develop collaborative partnerships with participants who have complementary skillsets.
Have fun in an interactive environment. TIGER Events are not a “spectator sport” – every participant can actively engage.
Presentations designed to educate and inform you about a topic relevant to succeeding in the innovation economy. Leaders share insights, predictions, and best practices.
Hands-on workshop events that teach the fundamentals of how to use a software tool or walk through the specific steps to create assets to help a business.
Inspiring stories from entrepreneurs, either highly successful or still climbing, covering the challenges they overcame, the lessons they learned, and dreams they achieved.
TIGER Events are built around solutions-focused presentations. Each TIGER Event has a different focus, but they all follow a similar sequence:
Meet and socialize with other participants & the speaker(s)
Brief introduction of speaker(s) noting their connection to Innovate New Albany’s mission and goals
Informative, interactive presentation
