IDA supports intelligent, efficient and importantly transparent navigation from strategy to action to impact.  

IDA is for all actors in innovation ecosystems, networks and clusters; from funders to academics, problem owners to problem solvers, and the whole host of supporting specialists. 

IDA is the connecting capability needed to maximise real world impact. 

IDA embraces the inherent complexity of the context, hides the wiring, is agnostic to researchers’ various internal systems and is intuitive. 

At the top level, IDA tracks real-time ROI, provides live portfolio views of funded activity and progress towards impact, captures problems worth solving, supports deal brokering and relationship capital building between ecosystem actors, enables effective asset utilisation and drives impact maximisation.  

IDA is AI enabled and design led, plug and play, and provides real-time impact intelligence across investment portfolios.

IDA does your reports for you – at the touch of a button – and can even be on your phone.

We are currently finalising IDA MVP through user centred design activities and IDA will be available to early adopters in the autumn. If you  would like to discuss being part of our beta test group please do contact us.
