Too few third sector innovations change the world due to lack of support. Innovation Exchange works to connect innovators, collaborators, and supporters in the public, private, and third sectors by surfacing opportunities for innovation and helping connect relevant groups. The organization finds areas of focus across sectors and politics, and supports innovations to scale through its web platform, events, and programs with funding from NESTA and DH.
