Innovation League

Strengthening the Slovak innovation ecosystem. Together.

Support entrepreneurs

Through our acceleration programs we help entrepreneurs kick-start their businesses and support them on their way as they scale their operations.

Build innovation communities

We bring together entrepreneurs, corporates, scientists, and policymakers to create innovation clusters that can be the true catalysts of change in our society.

Encourage policy that works

We combine our practical experience with an evidence-based approach to provide policymakers with insights and recommendations.
