METHODOLOGY<br />
Network centrality is a measure of the density<br />
of a person or organisation’s interconnectedness<br />
with a network and its relationships. It is a strong<br />
factor in entrepreneurial success.<br />
As part of the project, we held seven workshops,<br />
one in each region, with 100+ key members of<br />
the ecosystem. Participants were asked to map<br />
the local community and vote on the key people,<br />
organisations and events in the ecosystem. The<br />
two columns above, labelled Votes, display the<br />
community votes ranked accordingly across the<br />
seven regions.<br />
In addition, the relationships between people<br />
within the startup ecosystem on LinkedIn were<br />
aggregated and analysed using an algorithm to<br />
calculate a network centrality score for all the<br />
nodes in the network. There are several measures<br />
of centrality. This report uses a common measure<br />
of network centrality - Eigenvector - to identify<br />
the top 30 people and organisations.<br />
