Hosted by: HD Coaching
Ecosystem builders spend their days creating connection, energy, and opportunity for others, and rarely get the same support themselves. This facilitated roundtable is for the people who hold communities together, in Tokyo and across the international delegations attending InnoWeek.
WHAT HAPPENS
A 90 minute small group roundtable for 20 to 30 participants. Facilitated small circles work through three questions:
- What drains builders
- What sustains them
- What structures (team norms, boundaries, funding models) make the work sustainable over years rather than months
Each table shares one practical takeaway with the room.
WHO IT’S FOR
Community managers, accelerator and incubator leads, innovation district teams, and public sector program staff. Open to anyone.
WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH
- A practical takeaway from every table in the room
- Shared language for what drains and sustains ecosystem builders
- A short personal sustainability plan
