PLATFORM FEATURES

What you can do?

Skipso’s Innovation Ecosystem module helps you centralise your innovation community’s content, connect key stakeholders, and deliver tailored value — whether you’re an innovation hub, government agency, corporate network, or national program owner.

Connect your community

Build a thriving digital hub where startups, corporates, researchers, and more can engage, collaborate, and grow.

Organise content by type or role

Launch dedicated directories for events, resources, news, tools, and insights — all tailored by user role and permissions.

Automate stakeholder communications

Deliver role-specific newsletters and in-platform alerts to keep every stakeholder informed, engaged, and coming back.

Match People and Opportunities

Use intelligent matchmaking to connect the right users with relevant content, partners, or programs — automatically.
Ecosystem management

Build & Scale Your Innovation Ecosystem

From content hubs to AI recommendations and ecosystem-wide management — pick the tier that matches your growth stage.

essential tier

Launch a content hub tailored to your innovation audience

Launch a focused content hub with up to 3 directories, basic analytics, profile-based notifications, role-based messaging, and tailored user dashboards — perfect for getting your ecosystem started.

content directories

3 Content directories

Publish up to three dedicated directories for different content types (e.g. events, resources, news). Choose who can create and contribute to each type of content.

Basic Engagement Analytics

Content performance tracking

Track content performance with standard metrics: views, clicks, and likes.

Messaging with Role-Based Rules

Role-based communication

Users can message each other within the platform — but only if permitted by your ruleset (e.g. mentors ↔ startups).

User Dashboards

Custom navigation by role

Give each user a tailored homepage with shortcuts to relevant content, opportunities, or actions.

ENHANCED TIER

Supercharge ecosystem engagement with AI, newsletters and insights

Boost engagement and insights with AI-powered content recommendations, targeted newsletters, up to 6 content directories, and custom KPI dashboards — ideal for growing ecosystems.

Content Directories

6 Content directories

Expand your ecosystem structure with up to six directories — for events, publications, tools, insights, videos, and more.

Profile-Based Notifications

Smart content recommendations

Users get notified when new content matches their selected interests — keeping your ecosystem relevant and dynamic.

Targeted, Scheduled Newsletters

Scheduled community updates

Send curated emails to segments of your community — by role, industry, tags or content type.

Custom KPI Dashboards

Insightful, action-oriented analytics

Work with Skipso to create dashboards around your own success metrics — not just clicks, but conversion to action or program involvement.

User Dashboards

Custom navigation by role

Give each user a tailored homepage with shortcuts to relevant content, opportunities, or actions.

Enterprise Tier

Empower entire ecosystems with multi-stakeholder engagement

Enable full-scale ecosystem orchestration with unlimited directories, custom user roles, smart matchmaking, targeted alerts, and multi-instance governance — built for complex, multi-stakeholder environments.

content directories

Content hubs without limits

Structure your ecosystem to include directories for internal and external stakeholders — e.g. for corporates, startups, NGOs, researchers, etc.

Custom user types & navigation

Define & customise user roles

Go beyond predefined roles — define user types like investors, researchers, educators, or ecosystem leads. Each can have custom dashboards, views, and communication settings.


Example: One client uses the platform to allow corporates to post content while innovation providers and researchers respond — all with role-based access.

Multi-Tenant Platform Management

Manage global programs easily

Operate multiple fully branded instances (e.g. for different countries, partners, or clients) under one account — with shared reporting and governance.

AI Matchmaking Engine

Stakeholder matching made easy

Match users, projects, or organisations based on skills, needs, or custom rules. Automatically recommend the best connections between stakeholders.

The features available through the software are a big reason why we initially chose and continue to choose Skipso to run our challenges.

I cannot imagine how much longer it would have taken

and how much more it would have cost to launch our ideation initiative without the Skipso Labs platform. It has been wonderful to house all of the information and processes in one place.

In 2019, Skipso helped IsDB set up our Innovation platform ‘Engage’.

The platform was a complete ecosystem of entrepreneurs, researchers, investors and mentors from academia. Since then the highly responsive and enthusiastic team from SkipsoLabs has helped us to establish Engage as a well-known innovation hub.
