Welcome to the Cascades West Innovation Hub

We are an initiative led by the Regional Accelerator & Innovation Network (RAIN) and funded by Business Oregon. The Hub connects entrepreneurs, universities, investors, service providers, and community partners to grow innovation-driven businesses in Oregon’s Benton, Lane, Lincoln and Linn Counties.  We provide support, resources, and navigation for innovators and innovation-based traded-sector businesses. Our mission is to strengthen the innovation ecosystem, expand access to resources, and foster inclusive economic opportunity across the region. Contact innovation@raincatalysts.org to learn more.
