Welcome to Innovate St. Louis

Innovate St. Louis is a non-profit organization established to advance the bi-state St. Louis region’s rise as a national and international leader in entrepreneurship and innovation.

In close collaboration with educational institutions, businesses, civic groups, foundations and government agencies, Innovate St. Louis initiated multiple new strategies that will increase the opportunities for entrepreneurs and innovators to be successful. 

Over recent decades, studies show that a large and rising share of economic growth – and with it living standards – is the result of innovation.  Innovate focuses on innovations that make a significant difference in the performance of products, services and enterprises.  We believe we can further build on our region’s existing strengths in innovation, and its twin, entrepreneurship, in creating a brighter future.
