About

Innovate Alaska (2.0) reflects the collaborative efforts of a growing number of economic development organizations, co-working spaces, businesses, and investors statewide that have come together for the shared goal of diversifying Alaska’s economic base. This is done through a “pipeline” of curated events, publicized through a weekly digest calendar, which increases the flow through of validated business models and focal points for available financial and human capital for startups. Through the “Year of Innovation” calendar of events “pipeline” it is now possible to start with an idea fostered from a fall event that could lead to >$100,000 in capital and investments - and a plethora of other resources for startups and business development - in just one year.

 

This means that Alaska’s great ideas and innovations now have a clear pathway

to market validation and success – right here in Alaska.
