Partnership FAQs
Sponsorships are typically event-specific and transactional — brand placement in exchange for financial support. Partnerships go deeper with shared goals, co-created programming, data infrastructure access, and mutual value creation.
EcoMap Technologies is an AI-powered ecosystem platform trusted by 100+ organizations globally. Partners gain tiered access to ecosystem directory listings, economic benchmarking data, and AI-powered search and insights.
Both. Our Community Partner level is designed for event-specific engagement, while Strategic and Anchor levels support multi-event and annual commitments. We also structure custom partnerships for unique goals.
We value more than financial contributions. Capacity-building partnerships (pro-bono services, training, technology), co-marketing collaborations, network partnerships, and research contributions all create meaningful value.
