The onboarding process for governments partnering with the International Federation for Economic Development (IFED) is structured to ensure a seamless, impactful integration into our global ecosystem. This six-step process enables governments to drive innovation, stimulate economic growth, and foster international collaboration.

Step 1: Legal and Compliance Setup

The foundation of a successful partnership begins with formalizing all legal and compliance requirements. During this phase, IFED works closely with government representatives to ensure that all agreements, regulatory considerations, and compliance frameworks are in place. This step ensures adherence to international laws, data protection regulations, and the specific requirements of the partnering government. It lays the groundwork for transparent, accountable collaboration.

Step 2: Strategic Innovation Alignment

At this stage, we align the government’s economic strategy with IFED’s innovation-driven agenda. By focusing on startup development and entrepreneurial growth, this alignment ensures that national priorities, such as job creation, technological advancement, and sustainable development, are integrated into the strategic plan. This step enables governments to leverage IFED’s expertise and resources to meet their national economic goals efficiently and effectively.

Step 3: Formalizing Strategic Partnerships

Next, formal agreements are established to cement the strategic partnership between IFED and the government. This agreement outlines key areas of collaboration, including the allocation of resources, funding mechanisms, and support for startup ecosystems. By entering this partnership, governments gain access to a global network of experts, investors, and innovators, positioning themselves at the front of economic progress.

Step 4: Ecosystem Integration

Once the partnership is formalized, governments are fully integrated into IFED’s data-driven ecosystem. This powerful ecosystem provides real-time insights and analytics that support evidence-based policy-making. Governments gain access to cutting-edge tools and technologies that optimize resource allocation, enabling more effective startup development and economic growth strategies.

​

Step 5: Growth and Development Support

With integration complete, governments actively engage in supporting high-potential startups within their national ecosystem. IFED facilitates the distribution of grants, funding, and resources to these startups, ensuring their growth and long-term success. Governments play a crucial role in nurturing innovation, creating jobs, and stimulating national economic development through targeted support programs.

​

Step 6: Global Collaboration and Expansion

The final step in the onboarding process involves fostering international collaboration and expanding innovation. Governments are connected with global stakeholders, allowing for cross-border partnerships, shared expertise, and collaborative efforts in innovation. This step strengthens international ties, promotes economic diplomacy, and enhances a country’s global competitiveness.

Why This Matters for Governments:

The IFED onboarding process is designed to empower governments with the tools and resources needed to stimulate economic growth through innovation and entrepreneurship. By integrating into a global ecosystem, governments not only drive domestic development but also position themselves as leaders in global innovation. Through strategic partnerships, data-driven insights, and international collaboration, governments can unlock new opportunities for economic advancement and long-term prosperity.
