The Salt Flats Innovation Ecosystem
Business ecosystems are not social networks, supply chains or Rolodexes — they’re dynamic, living, breathing networks that serve a purpose.
When designed, nurtured and engaged in the appropriate way, ecosystems become a force multiplier unlike anything we’ve ever known.
The Salt Flats Innovation Ecosystem exists to aid in the discovery, delivery, and support of transformational ideas. Salt Flats is an expert at ecosystem design and engagement and leverages the collective of bright minds, modern tools and capabilities, and a space to build and grow, and relationships of our ecosystem to quickly create value for our customers.
We are powered by the active and engaged ecosystems.
The power of our ecosystem environment with members in technology, manufacturing, design, change management, start-ups and venture capital enables a network of 21st century problem-solvers.
Companies need to look toward building new business models as new technologies, changing consumer habits, regulatory environments and more changes disrupt traditional models. Ecosystems provide companies with a catalyst for value creation that can be turned on and off as needed, throughout the lifecycle of business design and commercialization.
According to the World Economic Forum, more than $1.5 trillion in new economic activity will be driven by ecosystems within five years.
Salt Flats designs and manages ecosystems that provide value in three primary areas: Discovery, Validation and Launch.
