The Pilot
TESTING A NEW APPROACH
The AEI pilot is exploring how technology, local research and strategic expertise can work together to create more useful, current and actionable ecosystem intelligence.
HOW IT WORKS
Discover.
Verify.
Map.
Analyse.
Act.
Discover
Identify businesses, organisations, programmes, investors and other ecosystem actors.
Verify
Use local research and ecosystem knowledge to validate and enrich the data.
Map
Turn fragmented information into a visible picture of the ecosystem.
Analyse
Identify patterns, gaps, connections and emerging opportunities.
Five connected stages turn fragmented information into practical intelligence.
Act
Translate intelligence into practical decisions and recommendations
START WITH THE QUESTION
The decision comes before the database.
Where are the investable businesses?
Who is underserved?
Where are the support gaps?
Where is capital concentrated?
AEI begins with the decision to be made. The intelligence is designed around the question.
Which connections could strengthen the ecosystem?
WHAT ARE WE TESTING?
Can better intelligence create greater ecosystem impact?
Better ecosystem intelligence can contribute to better programme design, stronger collaboration, smarter resource allocation and greater ecosystem impact.
