Explore the networkWhat is ELI?
Innovation grows when a territory connects.
The Observatory connects territorial intelligence.
Sebrae’s ELI methodology provides the framework.
Local Innovation Ecosystems bring institutions, businesses, universities, government and communities together to build capabilities, strengthen entrepreneurship and turn ideas into action.
Sebrae/MT supports ecosystem development through the ELI methodology and the Observatory.
Sebrae’s ELI (Local Innovation Ecosystems) methodology examines six dimensions of territorial capacity. Each dimension is assessed from 0 to 5, with an official total from 0 to 30.
