OUR VISION
We strive to place every community in America on a path to self-determined progress and prosperity.

OUR MISSION
We partner with community leaders who recognize the untapped potential around them but feel stalled by slow or limited progress. Acting as your guide and collaborator, we walk alongside you — doing the hard work together to move your community forward and unlock shared prosperity.

OUR STRATEGY
We are committed to innovation. We will continually improve our support tools and help make the journey easier for our local community leaders.

PHILOSOPHY
We don’t just teach communities how to fish — we help their leaders identify the right fish to pursue, equip them with sharper tools, guide them in baiting the hook, and stand beside them until the goal is achieved.
Across the country, communities are rich in talent and led by passionate individuals. What’s often missing are the insights, strategies, and tools needed to turn that passion into sustainable progress — especially within tight resource constraints.
With experience in over 50 communities, Innovation Economy Partners deeply understands these challenges. That’s why we’ve built a proven methodology, strategic playbooks, cutting-edge technologies, and collaborative platforms — all designed to help local leaders achieve meaningful results, faster.
