OUR EVENTS
We Innovate Together.
Innovate Cochrane’s events focus on opportunities to learn and connect within the community. Often, events include the telling of stories (the good, the bad and the ugly) from our local leaders and entrepreneurs. Events always provide an opportunity to meet new people.
