LAUNCH HOBOKEN includes a benchmarking exercise to identify best-in-class community innovation centers around the country and to evaluate any lessons these centers may have for Hoboken.
We focused on current trends that are shaping community-focused innovation centers, including physical facilities and size, programs, mission and sector focus, funding sources, and metrics for success.
While tech remains an important sector focus, community-facing innovation centers often support other sectors like health, wellness and beauty, culinary, and arts and culture. Some innovation centers have a very specific focus, such as health tech or clean tech.
