Bringing together information and people
to address the challenges we face
The Coronavirus is a pandemic like we've not seen in decades. Over the coming months our goal is to be a hub for local information and to connect people and organizations that need to work collaboratively and increasingly remotely. Then? Return to business as normal!
Our near term mission is to provide local businesses with the tools and programs to better address the Coronavirus pandemic
In normal times our core focus is to coordinate information and collaboration to advance our key commercial clusters.
Thankfully our region is blessed with an abundance of the world class resources needed for helping us succeed.
These incorporate content, live webinars, expert moderated forums and address issues critical to business continuity

Clusters

Our Mission
Initially launched in concert with leading regional players to promote economic development and innovation, Hampton Roads Innovations tries hard to not duplicate the the good work done by others. But instead to be a platform that complements and accelerates their effort.
