Funded by The Lemelson Foundation, UEDA recently piloted its Ecosystems Design Network, to help members better engage and grown regional economic development ecosystems. Exploring invention and entrepreneurship as ecosystem catalysts, and the many roles that the university and regional partners play, participating UEDA members discovered ways to bring momentum to their ecosystems. This session will explore the ways in which design thinking principles can be applied to facilitating the development of regional ecosystems. Participants in the Ecosystems Design Network pilot will share their strategies and report on the ways in which ecosystem building continues in their regions.
