ENRICH in the USA Centres
ENRICH in the USA established a West Coast Centre in San Francisco, an East Coast Centre in Boston and a Federal Center in Washington, DC, to help EU R&I actors to immerse themselves in the top US ecosystems for business development and corporate development, as well as connect with the largest tech firms, Fortune 500's and government agencies. These Centres serve as key “connectors” supporting foreign R&I actors on the ground wishing to fully access the welcoming and nurturing US ecosystems.
Three physical Centres providing work space have been launched:
(1) In San Francisco at Runway Innovation Hub
(2) In Boston at the Cambridge Innovation Centre
(3) In Washington DC at NCURA's headquarters
