NEXT can help your community adapt to great change.

We offer community leaders a series of experiences taken that will help you unleash innovation in your community. You will understand the societal megatrends that are driving innovation, learn about the common barriers to innovation and how they are affecting you, practice human-oriented innovation design thinking, and engage in real startup innovation teams.

"I had no idea that the same principles that help startup companies grow could help our community grow."
