The Southern Oregon Innovation Hub (SOIH) is a dynamic project established through Business Oregon‘s Regional Innovation Hub-Groundwork Program, dedicated to nurturing innovation, entrepreneurship, connection, support and community collaboration.
Through Entrepreneur Support Organizations (ESOs) and key partnerships, SOIH aims to provide vital resources, networking opportunities, and a supportive platform for innovation. Any new startup within Jackson and Josephine counties will be able to access the region’s resources, and receive information about events and educational offerings. These include specialty classes, as well as mentorship - customized to take the entrepreneur from concept stage to growth stage.

This site is maintained by the Southern Oregon Innovation Hub Committee, a SOREDI Committee.
The state has asked all of the funded innovation hubs to use EcoMaps, a statewide ESO list. The Southern Oregon Innovation Hub section can be found here.
