HLF Innovation Ecosystems

The High Level Forum, the international network of innovation ecosystems, brings together international Executives, Decision and Policy Makers from the worlds of education, research, industry, business, economy and public authorities, all deeply engaged in the management or promotion of Innovation within their regional Ecosystem and often, worldwide.
Built and grown as an international community, the main objectives of the HLF network are:

• To share policies, strategies and experiences about innovation management and promotion between leading campuses ;
• To encourage and strengthen collaboration between the world’s most dynamic innovation ecosystems ;
• To develop common initiatives for maximizing the social and economic benefits of the innovation programs from the participating campuses and to support a resilient society.

Since its launch in 2012, the HLF has maintained interaction with numerous innovation ecosystems from all over the globe, with the willingness of opening its circle to more regions while maintaining a close-knit character within its network.
