PARTNER WITH US
Experts in activating local innovation ecosystems
We’re obsessed with creating a culture for innovating. As a result, our campuses spark economic growth and drive up real estate values. Let us help you bring the innovation community to your city.
Our scalable & adaptable model makes it easy to build, manage, and sustain a hub of innovation.
We build and grow the local innovation ecosystem, activating the community through our connections with local partners. Our campuses become centers of gravity for innovation.
Our high-caliber community and impactful programming give clients instant access to a culture that fosters meaningful connections. Everything our clients need is within their reach.
Lots of people lease space as a business—but CIC is different because of the culture they create through the services and programs they provide and the connections they help make happen.
