The digital layer connecting innovation ecosystems

INSPIRED connects innovation ecosystems through a trusted digital layer built for visibility, collaboration, and long term momentum.

We provide the infrastructure that enables innovation ecosystems to stay connected beyond events, programs, physical borders, and time constraints. While valuable ideas, talent, capital, and opportunities often remain fragmented across disconnected networks, INSPIRED creates continuity through community spaces, innovator showcases, AI powered matchmaking, and ecosystem discovery. The result is a more connected and accessible global innovation ecosystem where meaningful ideas can gain visibility, attract support, and build lasting momentum.

Founded in Switzerland in 2023 by Maximilian Werner, INSPIRED was created to solve a fundamental problem within the global innovation economy: important innovation often struggles to reach the right people.

Today, the platform supports a growing global network spanning more than 150 countries, bringing together innovators, investors, collaborators, accelerators, universities, and ecosystem partners in one environment built specifically for innovation.

INSPIRED is built and operated by AVASTRA AG, based in Erlenbach, Switzerland. Combining technology, community, and purposeful design, we work with innovators and ecosystem partners worldwide to support the next generation of innovation shaping the future.
