The Innovation Ecosystems Network (IEN) at Stanford University brings together an international interdisciplinary team that seeks to develop and diffuse novel data and tools for understanding the catalytic impact of regional ICT experiments. Focusing on data-driven analysis and information visualization, IEN is able to:

* Identify patterns of success among partners in academic initiatives, strategic public endeavors, and private enterprises in creating sustainable business growth.

* Describe the mix of local and global alliances that synergize regional business clusters.

* Enhance sharing of insights among the diverse groups of people involved in technology-based business development.
