The Cascades West Innovation Hub is a regional 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 the four-county Cascades West region. Our mission is to strengthen the innovation ecosystem, expand access to resources, and foster inclusive economic opportunity across the region.
The Innovation Hub Partnership Manager (IHPM) will be employed by RAIN to serve as a connector and organizer for the Cascades West Innovation Hub, working with partners including nonprofit organizations, professional service providers, universities, government partners, and investors to ensure they have the knowledge, skills, and connections they need to support innovation-based and traded sector businesses.
