Opportunity & Innovation

Connecting Emerging Talent And Regional Ecosystems With Knowledge, Networks And Pathways To Growth.

Small towns have talent, skilled producers and young people ready to build. What they often lack is a route to the wider world. Opportunity and Innovation connects them to buyers, partners, skills and new ideas.


What we do:

  1. Run a trade desk that links producers in partner towns to buyers and chambers, and tracks the orders that result.
  2. Offer a fellowship for young researchers and writers from small towns, placed in partner settlements for a year.
  3. Support local innovation through events such as the JunctionX Pathankot hackathon and TEDxCaledonian.
  4. Share practical guidance on export readiness and certification for small businesses.

Who it is for

Young people, entrepreneurs, producers, craftspeople, schools and universities, and regional business networks.


How to take Part: Apply for the fellowship when the call opens in January 2027, register your producer business with the trade desk, or propose an event or partnership.

Connecting global leadership with regional potential through dialogue, ideas, policy and opportunity.
