The Research Institute for Innovation and Sustainability

At RIIS, we work right at the intersection of corporate strategy, socio-economic development and entrepreneurship & innovation. By combining these three disciplines and not treating them as mutually exclusive areas, we have continuously partnered with our clients to drive them to new levels of success.



We have worked with a range of private and public sector organisations to improve the way in which they can plan for and respond to a changing world. In particular, we help organisations accelerate their innovation programmes through collaboration and partnerships across their value chain. In doing so, we have delivered over 100 innovation interventions with organisations across the world. We have built innovation platforms for both public and private sector organisations, international development agencies and government departments. In all cases, our work has aimed at accelerating innovation and reducing innovation risk for our partners, and ensuring long term success.
