Through independent research and evaluation, the partnership will support the ongoing development,validation and credibility of the AGORIN methodology, helping to demonstrate its impact and inform future innovation
A partnership built for the long term
The four organisations in the AGORIN partnership were selected because each brings something the others cannot. Together they cover technology development, sector access, research independence and incentive design: the full picture of what it takes to build a platform that actually gets used.
AGORIN is currently seeking investment and partnership to move from pilot to scale.
