Building what comes next.

We bring industry demand, entrepreneurial talent, practical capabilities and capital together to create solutions, grow enterprises and develop new ventures.

Through our strategic direction, Village Circles 30, we are organising how we engage industries, mobilise our ecosystem and respond to emerging economic opportunities.

We bring together our businesses, platforms, programmes, partners and networks around shared industry opportunities. This enables us to translate ideas and capabilities into practical solutions and create measurable economic value.

Our Strategic Direction

Connecting industries. Mobilising capabilities. Creating opportunities.

We believe economic growth happens when the people, businesses, institutions and resources that drive industries work together.

We see businesses with challenges to solve, markets to develop and supply chains to strengthen. We also see entrepreneurs with ideas and capabilities that need access to customers, expertise, infrastructure and finance.

Our approach connects these needs and resources, creating opportunities for collaboration, innovation and enterprise growth.

Through Circles 30, we bring the right people and capabilities together to address real industry challenges, deliver practical solutions and develop opportunities with commercial potential.

The Industry Circles

Five interconnected areas of industry engagement.

We organise our industry engagement around five thematic Circles. Each represents an area where we build relationships, understand market needs and connect relevant capabilities to emerging opportunities.

Within each Circle, we bring together companies, institutions, entrepreneurs, specialists and delivery partners to address shared industry challenges and develop solutions.

  1. Creative Economy

    Connecting creativity with commerce.

    We work across creative enterprise, design, content, cultural markets, media and brand experiences.

    We strengthen creative businesses, connect talent to commercial opportunities and develop new ways for creative capabilities to serve businesses, institutions and markets.

  2. Agriculture & Food Security

    Strengthening food enterprises and agricultural value chains.

    We engage across food enterprises, agricultural supply chains, processing and routes to market.

    We strengthen enterprise capabilities, improve production readiness, connect producers to buyers and create opportunities for businesses across the food and agriculture value chain.

  3. Manufacturing and Production

    Building productive and industrial capabilities.

    We connect product development, fabrication, prototyping, industrial suppliers and shared production capabilities.

    By bringing together technical expertise, production environments and market demand, we support product development and delivery while strengthening local manufacturing capacity.

  4. Financial Innovation

    Advancing financial innovation and enterprise access.

    We work with financial institutions, technology providers and enterprises across payments, credit, insurance and technologies that improve financial services.

    We support research, innovation pilots, enterprise readiness and connections to appropriate financial service providers.

  5. Climate, Energy and Circular Economy

    Turning sustainability challenges into productive opportunities.

    We work across productive energy, resource recovery, operational efficiency and decarbonisation.

    We collaborate with businesses and institutions to develop solutions that improve resource use, support productive energy access and create opportunities within the circular economy.

How We Work

From industry challenges to working solutions.

We follow an approach that connects industry relationships with practical delivery and opportunities for long-term enterprise development.

  1. Identify opportunities

    We engage businesses, institutions and industry partners to understand their challenges, identify market gaps and establish where new opportunities exist.

  2. Connect capabilities

    We bring together entrepreneurs, specialists, suppliers, production teams and partners with the expertise and capabilities needed to respond to identified opportunities.

  3. Design and deliver solutions

    We develop tailored programmes, coordinate implementation, build prototypes and test ideas with real customers and users. We manage delivery against agreed objectives, budgets and outcomes.

  4. Develop repeatable solutions

    When we identify similar needs across different customers or markets, we refine proven approaches into repeatable services, products and platforms.

  5. Build new ventures

    We identify solutions with wider market potential, validate demand and business models, and explore opportunities to develop them into independent or shared ventures.

Our Shared Capabilities

Capabilities that work across industries.

While our Industry Circles provide a focus for engagement, we draw on four shared capabilities to support work across all five areas.

Corporate Innovation

We work with businesses and institutions to identify challenges, explore opportunities and develop solutions through research, co-creation, prototyping, pilots and implementation.

Sector Partnerships

We bring together industry players, enterprises and institutions to develop and deliver programmes around defined sector opportunities.

Enterprise Growth

We strengthen enterprise capabilities through supplier development, commercial readiness, production coordination, market access and business development support.

Enterprise Finance

We help enterprises improve their commercial and financial readiness and connect them with relevant finance providers.

Together, these capabilities allow us to respond to different industry needs while drawing on expertise and resources across our wider ecosystem.

Our Ecosystem

Different capabilities. Shared opportunities.

We bring together the different capabilities within Innovation Village Group to create a coordinated approach to industry engagement, innovation and enterprise development.

Our businesses and operating platforms provide production, technical, creative and operational capabilities. Our programmes and partnerships connect entrepreneurs and enterprises to opportunities. Our wider networks bring together institutions, industry players, specialists and ecosystem partners.

We use these relationships and resources to respond to industry needs, coordinate delivery and identify opportunities for further growth.

Building What Comes Next

Creating lasting economic value through innovation and enterprise.

We are working towards a growing portfolio of solutions, stronger enterprises and commercially viable ventures that respond to real market needs.

We focus on building lasting institutional relationships, strengthening enterprises, developing repeatable solutions and creating new businesses with the potential to generate economic value.

Through Circles 30, we are bringing our capabilities, businesses, platforms and partnerships together around a shared direction for growth.

We build what comes next.
