About Us
Our Economic Growth Practice was founded in 2003 with the creation of focus:innovation, a ‘think-and-do tank’ aiming to promote innovation and implement innovative solutions for creating new jobs and promoting inclusive and sustained growth. Transformed into a subsidiary of UK-based Technopolis Group in 2006, it was then restructured and rebranded as INOMER in 2013 after a successful management buyout.
We have more than 20 years of experience in working both for policy-makers & practitioners and for those targeted by policies & initiatives. Our experience extends beyond 50 countries as well as numerous regions. Thus, we offer an excellent blend of expertise that creates a tremendous asset to our clients.
Our experts have long-term track record in assisting public and social sectors, as well as the stakeholders of innovation ecosystems who are eager to drive change, achieve sustained growth and create real impact.
