Ecosystems are Everywhere.

Everything about them is here.

From small business communities, to tech hubs, to corporate networks, and entire industries - ecosystems surround us.
‍
The EIC is here to help you understand them.

One place for all things ecosystems.

Whether we're talking about a small business community, a growing tech hub, or a private corporate networks, all ecosystems share the same components

Every ecosystem is a network of people, organizations, resources, and the activity and relationships between them. We study the characteristics that are shared across all ecosystems to bring you novel insights into how they work.

Real examples, Real insights, Real helpful.

We've mapped dozens of ecosystems, of all types, across the world - and we've learned a ton while doing it. We're here to share that knowledge.

The Ecosystem Information Center is powered by EcoMap Technologies, who creates data platforms that power ecosystems.We've done thousands of hours of research into ecosystems so that you can dive right in.

EcoMap Tech creates platforms that enable people to easily navigate  ecosystems, from small business communities to entire industries. We do this by using proprietary technology to gather detailed data about the assets in an ecosystem, such as key organizations, resources, news, jobs, and events.

Our technology is used in dozens of ecosystems worldwide, and it  is through this work that we've had the privilege to study so many diverse types of ecosystems. The Ecosystem Information Center is our way of sharing the insights we've learned with the world.
