offer — territories & institutions

Ecosystems that hold on their own.

Incubation, acceleration and innovation programmes, built with territories and their players across Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Programmes equipped with AI and data, without ever replacing people.

Let's talk about your territorial project
the model — three levels

Our role: connecting the three levels.

An entrepreneurial ecosystem works on three levels: those who create the conditions for success, those who provide support, and those who do the work. It only holds if those levels know each other, talk, and build together. Ovation works across all three, with the middleground as its anchor point.

UPPERground

Large companies, financial and public institutions, policy-makers. We translate their objectives into programmes that can actually be run on the ground.

MIDDLEground

Support organisations, coaches, local partners. The connective tissue, and where we anchor.

UNDERground

Entrepreneurs and project owners. Those who do the work, and who already carry their own answers.

We do not impose a model.
We draw it with the field.

how we work

Three vital functions.

01

Strategic translation

Institutions and startups do not speak the same language. We make mutual understanding possible between the levels.

02

Infrastructure for interaction

The environment comes alive through the initiatives it supports: incubators, accelerators, coworking spaces, innovation hubs.

03

Professionalising the intermediaries

To make that space last, we build the capacity of the people who hold it: coaches and support organisations.
