Innovation ecosystems have visible and invisible support structures that provide space and access for more people and ideas to have aget voiced, get tested and thrive with the right kind of support. If we want to create real and sustainable social change, these ecosystems are necessary for supporting innovators to grow, develop, collaborate and push the status quo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The event <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For three days in May 2015, SIX and Amani Institute, with support from Hivos, brought together over 100 thinkers and doers from across Africa and the world to explore the different conditions and components that make a city a \u2018hub\u2019 for innovation.

Invisible conditions and enabling environment &#8211;<\/strong> Amrote Abdella of the Microsoft 4 Afrika Initiative highlighted that in order to build a place for innovation,- you need<em> \u2018hard infrastructure with connectivity and space but also the proper mind-set to build upon failure and share experiences. Resiliency and determination are paramount\u2019.<\/em> We discussed skills like collaboration, learning from failure, and building skills and capacity for innovation across systems<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Inclusivity &#8211; who are these spaces for? <\/strong>Brining diversity of voices is essential for innovation. Although the influx of hubs and innovation spaces is essential for creating an innovation ecosystems- they are still sometime seen as elitist, and do not provide a space for everyone.&nbsp;Roseline Orwa from the Rona Foundation reminded us: <strong>\u2018<\/strong><em>Hubs should go to the people and not people go to the hubs\u2019<\/em>,<em> <\/em>expressing the desire to break beyond the innovation spaces in the city centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more detail on our insights and case studies, download the <a href=\"https:\/\/socialinnovationexchange.org\/legacy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/nairobi_-_highlights_report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#8216;What makes a city a &#8216;hub&#8217; for innovation?
