MEMx has launched an innovation exchange to serve as a broker of economic activity because it understands that ideas are critical to growth and the deliberate intersection of people with research backgrounds, technologies, and mindsets to foster more creative collisions is the type of region innovative firms and talent want.  The Innovation Exchange will not stop here, but hope to accelerate real application of ideas through strategic alignment of like minded regions, organizations, or individuals but also serve as a public outlet for better advocacy and education.  The Exchange will use various channels of engagement including but not limited to regional convenings, local events and campaigns, content and training modules, memberships of national groups, intentional economic alignment with other regions across the country.  The goal is simple; build an innovation platform that attracts people and business from all over.
