15 years of strategic impact

Consistent efforts, compounding returns

Innovation Factory’s growth has been neither sudden nor sporadic; it has been the
result of gradual and consistent efforts. The early years were defined by
establishing credibility within the region. As our programs and resources grew, so
too did our client base. Companies began to return to us for support on new

ventures or to scale existing ones, and new innovators were drawn to our
ecosystem, eager to leverage what we offered, and fueling our compounding
success.

Our impact, measured in growth

Our evolution has mirrored that of the companies we serve, with the numbers

telling the story of a thriving regional hub. Since inception, we have supported
more than 3,600 companies, delivered over 48,000 hours of consultations, and
facilitated 13,000+ connections. Collectively, our clients have generated over

$732.6 million in revenues and attracted more than $1.22 billion in investment,
translating into economic opportunity that has created more than 8,500 jobs. The
journey alongside our clients’ success is rarely linear, yet it is in this spirit of
innovation that we have seen ideas transform from possibility into measurable
economic impact.
