WHY, WHO
AND WHERE?
Inspired by the empowering nature the participatory culture, we are building a more sustainable future.
We believe that society is facing unprecedented economic, environmental, social and cultural challenges. We also believe that new innovations are the key to turning these challenges into opportunities to improve our communities and our planet. By hosting a group of connected individuals and small businesses, we are creating an economy of innovation, creativity and problemsolving.
OUR STORY
Innovation Dock was founded the summer of 2014 by two restless enrepreneurs who were seeking to enlighten Stavanger with a brand new co-working space, to facilitate the fast growing economy of Stavanger East. In 2016 the company got strengthened by hiring Pia Warland as our CEO, and today the team counts five.
Today Innovation Dock houses close to 100 companies in two locations in Stavanger East and Sandnes, and over 250 companies have participated in one of our courses and programs. Innovation Dock is therefore not just a coworking space, and differs from commercial / incubator environments in that typical our tenants have a somewhat shorter path to the market and lower technological risk with their solutions, and that they thrive in ambitious environment, where tenants actively use their networks to help each other. At Innovation Dock, we have built a strong network with many players to help companies with expertise across industries.
We’re always working on further extensions of both coworking space, courses and programs that strengthen Innovation Dock and the ecosystem of start-up and growth companies in the region.
MEET THE TEAM.
