An EPIC keystone anchors a local or regional ecosystem that consists of institutions such as academia (e.g., universities), innovative industry (e.g., startups, local businesses, multinationals), and government (regional through to national). The ecosystem should have a clear focus on innovation activities for economic benefit.
