I keep seeing GISxStudios - what does this mean?
It's Global Innovation Studios' cool way of shortening its name and is what we use for social media! Follow us @GISxStudios on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
Is Global Innovation Studios replacing UBI Global?
No way! UBI Global is a community, Global Innovation Studios is a digital portal. Think of it this way; you belong to the community, but the portal belongs to you! Right here is where you will (eventually, in some cases) share with peers, learn best practices, find research documents, watch videos, take part in webinars, collaborate with corporate innovation teams, benchmark yourself, and the list goes on. UBI Global will continue to provide the community, with an impactful research framework and benchmark, providing rankings and recognition of your continued excellence.
Why form a new company for Global Innovation Studios?
UBI Global wanted to add another layer to the benefits it offers business incubators and accelerators, and the best way to do that was to spin off a digital portal that would revolve around the needs of our members but also be inclusive of the ecosystem. GISxStudios will eventually invite corporations, governments, and other stakeholders to be part of the Studios with the goal of connecting them to our members. While these groups will create opportunities for our members, they themselves are not considered members of the UBI Global community, which continues to be focused only on incubators and accelerators.
Do UBI Global Members have to pay to use Global Innovation Studios?
The GISxStudios basic subscription is free and it includes a lot of features and functions, don't worry! Pro and Premium members of UBI Global have access to the Premium GISxStudios subscription, which means you get more users on the portal and more features as they are released. Basic subscribers can upgrade at any time for a monthly fee!
Why does GISxStudios need my startup data?
Let us be very clear that no access to your startup data will happen without your knowledge and permission ahead of time. UBI Global, and thereby GISxStudios is focused on business incubators and accelerators and their importance in the global innovation ecosystem. Providing your startup data on the portal means that we are better able to provide you with the tools you need to help your startups grow!
