Innovation Cities Index & Program, 2thinknow seek to visit cities worldwide, and work with firms & people with experience in many cities.

City visits are an important part of assessing the Innovation Cities Index. Since 2005 commencement 2thinknow staff have visited 42 cities – with top-ranked cities being visited up to 9 times. Assistants have reported from many more cities. Unfortunately, it is difficult and expensive to visit all cities in a given year.

Requesting a City Visit.

Cities that wish to have 2thinknow’s Executive Director, Christopher Hire or a representative visit them have 2 options:

• Engage 2thinknow to deliver Meeting Advisory services in-person
• Cover Executive Director’s travel costs & time to visit their city to speak at a city conference, event or a convention.

If we are visiting your city, any offers of support of the research through hotel rooms, airfares, cultural event passes (eg. film festivals) or contribution to other costs will be appreciated and allow us to experience your city.

NOTE: At all times, the independence of our analysis will not be affected by any advisory fees or benefits, and any benefits will be disclosed in writing when assessing the city.
