= Overview =

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) has very recently been developing its identity as a site of innovation and entrepreneurship. Ideas have been in place for a while among students and faculty and now over the last semester, plans have started to take shape. The most recent ideas to action have come through interdisciplinary ideations and collaboration through The Brain Trust at IUPUI, the recent UIF chapter of IUPUI, the newly formed Innovation Student Union, and many other student organizations focused on innovative change at IUPUI.

= Strategy #1 Promote Innovation and Entrepreneurship to the general student body. =

Students at IUPUI are still largely unaware of the vision for IUPUI to become an innovation hub. Because of its proximity to so many businesses and large corporations, IUPUI has an amazing physical proximity to natural resources of Entrepreneurship as well as access to some crucially helpful individuals. However, there is no direct flow of knowledge or outstanding awareness of these resources; they are all hidden in the depths of the schools' websites and commonly unknown to the student body. 

- Collect resource information and keep it organized.

- Make connections with the faculty who are in charge of and aware of the opportunities inside and outside of IUPUI.

- Meet with the influential individuals of IUPUI and the surrounding community to expand information.

- Promote a plan for distributing information to students through workshops, lectures, etc. 

-Create a widespread ideation platform with an easy-to-use software or game-like appearance.

= Strategy #2 Bring an innovation space to IUPUI. =

Students at IUPUI are still largely unaware of the future plans for the campus, but one of the pending goals is to create and utilize more maker spaces. These spaces are for student creativity and collaboration to come to life and to provide the necessary equipment for ideas to happen.

-Receive training through UIF to establish a complete goal for the future space.

-Stay in contact with faculty who are already interested in helping to create this space.

-Continue to reach out to more individuals who would be interested in a maker-space. 

= Strategy #3 The In-Wave of Innovation =

Due to large numbers of citywide unity events, Venture Capital firms, and innovative business bodies around the campus of IUPUI, we may be able to force the change we would like to see with an influx of outside resources to the IUPUI campus.

-Contact local VC's and Innovators to see if a student population would assist them in any way.

-Direct citywide events to have an IUPUI branch for innovative events to occur.

Expand the outside network until IUPUI must accept that innovation is the way of the educative future.

= Overview =
IUPUI is just starting to break the surface of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E). Even though we have the seeds of Entrepreneurship sown around our campus in the form of classes and competitions we really don't have a firm basis of innovation. A unanimous agreement between many of the leaders on campus who are currently looking to find ways to help boost student interest and make IUPUI a more I&E conscience campus is the necessary implementation of a "home base" for I&E in the form of Maker Space or an Institute for Innovation. 
= IUPUI Student Efforts =
[[File:The Brain Trust at IUPUI.jpeg|thumb]]Student have been pushing for I&E on campus for several years. It has proven difficlult as clubs and student organizations formed died due to minimal attendence. Recently, a devoted group of individuals has come together to create a new innovation based student organization known as The Brain Trust.The main goal of The Brain Trust at IUPUI is to provide an environment for students to bring ideas into action. Although this student organization has only been around for one year, this small group of students has kickstarted the process of allocating a designated innovation space at IUPUI. Furthermore, they are now in the planning stages with faculty to develop a lasting entrepreneurial structure on campus, and hope to continue to bring students from fragmented backgrounds and disciplines together to focus on singular projects to improve and contribute to IUPUI.In an effort to initiate the improvement of IUPUI's current innovative mindset, The Brain Trust's first goal was to apply to the University Innovation Fellows program to gain the knowlledge and know how to most effectively change the campus landscape. Recently, other student groups have started their own contributions to campus unity and innovation. Most notably, Student Talks, an organization dedicated to student discussions similar to that of Ted talks but on a student basis, has carved a path to begin meaningful discussions on campus. This venue could open the way to a more unified and innovative campus. [http://enactus.org/ ENACTUS]: A national innovation competition recently undergone by students of IUPUI. (See website) A recent culmination of Innovation resources came together at the first Innovation Student Union meeting at IUPUI. A collection of representation from many different student organizations coming together to orient their collective innovative projects toward a common goal is the prime idea of the Union. Hopefully this can blossom into more student initiative driven I&E on campus.

= Campus I&E Efforts =
Faculty Proposal for Developing Culture of Innovation on Campus:In the Fall of 2015 there was an assembly of Deans of the individual schools of study to discuss methods of promoting innovation on campus. The main idea conveyed in the meeting was that the movement had to be student led. Unfortunately this movement proposal fell to the wayside under the red tape of running a university. Fortunately, The Brain Trust was recently made aware of the proceedings of this meeting and is currently following up with the Vice Chancellor of IUPUI in an effort to allocate funds and the people needed to make this proposal a reality.Think It Make It Lab: The Herron School of Art and Design has recently spent $1.3 million to design a makerspace known as the Think It Make It Lab. This area houses computers equipped with design software, 3D printers, laser engravers and CNC machinery. Although this space is currently mainly reserved for Art and Design as well as Informatics students; the end goal is to make it available to the general IUPUI student population.JagStart - IUPUI Student Pitch Competition: JagStart is a annual competition where students can pitch their ideas for solving campus, local, national and even world issues. This competition is in elevator pitch format and can be taken on by an individual or a team. It is the hope that this gets students in touch with their more innovative and passionate side. It is a good opportunity to get a small feel of what pitching an idea to an audience is like.IUFresh Implementation: A University Innovation Fellowship run program for incoming IUPUI freshman students.
= University Technology Transfer Functions =
The Indiana University Research and Technology Corporation (IURTC) is an off campus organization that serves as IUPUI's technology transfer office. Whether a student's goal is to commercialize his or her product, secure rights on intellectual property, or to patent an invention, the IURTC helps them accomplish their goals.Commercialization: The technology commercialization process can be started with IURTC by completing an Invention Disclosure Form that is reviewed and copied to the student's department chair, the dean of their school or college, and the chancellor or provost at their campus.Startups: The IURTC has helped multiple undergraduate and graduate student run startups get their feet off the ground including:[http://www.assemblybio.com/ Assembly]: A startup biopharmaceutical company researching treatment for hepatitis B and CDADAnagin: Another start up developing an over the counter medication for PTSDSoftware Licensing and Intellectual Property Rights: The IURTC also assists in helping students secure intellectual property rights for ideas that they develop but are unsure of what steps to take next as well as licensing software to companies.Website Link: [http://iurtc.iu.edu/index.shtml http://iurtc.iu.edu/index.shtml]
= University-Industry Collaboration =
IUPUI is currently collabortating with the Lugar Center for Alternative Energy Resources to do active research on campus. IUPUI's affiliation with the Luger Center for Alternative Energy Research stems from the school's dedication to innovative solutions to enivironmental problems as a research-based institution. In pursuit of alternative energies, student organizations such as The Brain Trust, Sustainability Councils, and SEDS actively attempt to bring student-led initiatives to a public and professional developmental level. Currently in progress is a bid for a self-sustained orbital space station for human life support, programs to increase environment-sustainable awareness in the community, and a project to produce self-contained shipping crate housing solutions for students interested in sustainability, entrepreneurship, and innovation.

= Local Economic Development =
With its urban location, IUPUI not only has strong interior innovation opportunity, but exteriorly, too.  Leaders of Indianapolis have a vision of Indianapolis becoming the "Silicon Valley of the Midwest."  Connecting IUPUI to this ecosystem will provide students with resources and mentors to jumpstart their projects.[http://www.16techindy.com/ 16 Tech Indy]16 Tech is a planned Innovation Community and one of the largest talent attraction, retention and development opportunities in Indianapolis’ history.The Innovation Community is purpose-built to attract the best talent to collaborate, innovate and commercialize new ideas across a spectrum of advanced industries, including life sciences, technology and advanced manufacturing. The community is built to respond to the way innovation occurs today ─ in open environments where collaboration occurs naturally, while breaking down barriers that sometimes exist in the cross-pollination of ideas across industries.Innovation communities like 16 Tech draw companies and talent from around the world; they also provide job training and development opportunities for residents of the surrounding neighborhoods. It’s this mix of talent and industry diversity that makes for a truly inclusive and vibrant community for innovation and business and community development.Like any community, 16 Tech will be a place where people not only work, but live, play and learn. Its millions of square feet of custom, open, modern innovation space is coupled with retail and housing development, generous green space and walking/biking trails for a rich, urban living experience.-taken from 16techindy.com[http://vergehq.com/indianapolis-investors/ Verge]: Local startup and Entrpreneurship company.[http://greatplaces2020.org/ Great Places 2020]: A program to make the area next to campus a new thriving part of town including plans for an Entrepreneurship center.[http://www.clubcyberia.org/ Cyberia]: A local makerspace which offers discounts for student I&E.

JagStart is a annual competition where students can pitch their ideas for solving campus, local, national and even world issues. This competition is in elevator pitch format and can be taken on by an individual or a team. It is the hope that this gets students in touch with their more innovative and passionate side. It is a good opportunity to get a small feel of what pitching an idea to an audience is like.

The Indiana University Research and Technology Corporation (IURTC) is an off campus organization that serves as IUPUI's technology transfer office. Whether a student's goal is to commercialize his or her product, secure rights on intellectual property, or to patent an invention, the IURTC helps them accomplish their goals.

Commercialization: The technology commercialization process can be started with IURTC by completing an Invention Disclosure Form that is reviewed and copied to the student's department chair, the dean of their school or college, and the chancellor or provost at their campus.

Startups: The IURTC has helped multiple undergraduate and graduate student run startups get their feet off the ground including:

= Overview =

IUPUI is just starting to break the surface of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E). Even though we have the seeds of Entrepreneurship sown around our campus in the form of classes and competitions we really don't have a firm basis of innovation. A unanimous agreement between many of the leaders on campus who are currently looking to find ways to help boost student interest and make IUPUI a more I&E conscience campus is the necessary implementation of a "home base" for I&E in the form of Maker Space or an Institute for Innovation. 

= IUPUI Student Efforts[[File:The Brain Trust at IUPUI.jpeg|thumb|The Brain Trust at IUPUI.jpeg]] =

Student have been pushing for I&E on campus for several years. It has proven difficlult as clubs and student organizations formed died due to minimal attendence. Recently, a devoted group of individuals has come together to create a new innovation based student organization known as The Brain Trust.

The main goal of The Brain Trust at IUPUI is to provide an environment for students to bring ideas into action. Although this student organization has only been around for one year, this small group of students has kickstarted the process of allocating a designated innovation space at IUPUI. Furthermore, they are now in the planning stages with faculty to develop a lasting entrepreneurial structure on campus, and hope to continue to bring students from fragmented backgrounds and disciplines together to focus on singular projects to improve and contribute to IUPUI.

In an effort to initiate the improvement of IUPUI's current innovative mindset, The Brain Trust's first goal was to apply to the University Innovation Fellows program to gain the knowlledge and know how to most effectively change the campus landscape. Recently, other student groups have started their own contributions to campus unity and innovation. Most notably, Student Talks, an organization dedicated to student discussions similar to that of Ted talks but on a student basis, has carved a path to begin meaningful discussions on campus. This venue could open the way to a more unified and innovative campus. 

[http://enactus.org/ ENACTUS]: A national innovation competition recently undergone by students of IUPUI. (See website) 

A recent culmination of Innovation resources came together at the first Innovation Student Union meeting at IUPUI. A collection of representation from many different student organizations coming together to orient their collective innovative projects toward a common goal is the prime idea of the Union. Hopefully this can blossom into more student initiative driven I&E on campus.

Faculty Proposal for Developing Culture of Innovation on Campus:

In the Fall of 2015 there was an assembly of Deans of the individual schools of study to discuss methods of promoting innovation on campus. The main idea conveyed in the meeting was that the movement had to be student led. Unfortunately this movement proposal fell to the wayside under the red tape of running a university. Fortunately, The Brain Trust was recently made aware of the proceedings of this meeting and is currently following up with the Vice Chancellor of IUPUI in an effort to allocate funds and the people needed to make this proposal a reality.

Think It Make It Lab: 

The Herron School of Art and Design has recently spent $1.3 million to design a makerspace known as the Think It Make It Lab. This area houses computers equipped with design software, 3D printers, laser engravers and CNC machinery. Although this space is currently mainly reserved for Art and Design as well as Informatics students; the end goal is to make it available to the general IUPUI student population.

= Overview =

IUPUI is just starting to break the surface of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E). Even though we have the seeds of Entrepreneurship sown around our campus in the form of classes and competitions we really don't have a firm basis of innovation. A unanimous agreement between many of the leaders on campus who are currently looking to find ways to help boost student interest and make IUPUI a more I&E conscience campus is the necessary implementation of a "home base" for I&E in the form of Maker Space or an Institute for Innovation. 

= IUPUI Student Efforts[[File:The Brain Trust at IUPUI.jpeg|thumb]] =

Student have been pushing for I&E on campus for several years. It has proven difficlult as clubs and student organizations formed died due to minimal attendence. Recently, a devoted group of individuals has come together to create a new innovation based student organization known as The Brain Trust.

The main goal of The Brain Trust at IUPUI is to provide an environment for students to bring ideas into action. Although this student organization has only been around for one year, this small group of students has kickstarted the process of allocating a designated innovation space at IUPUI. Furthermore, they are now in the planning stages with faculty to develop a lasting entrepreneurial structure on campus, and hope to continue to bring students from fragmented backgrounds and disciplines together to focus on singular projects to improve and contribute to IUPUI.

In an effort to initiate the improvement of IUPUI's current innovative mindset, The Brain Trust's first goal was to apply to the University Innovation Fellows program to gain the knowlledge and know how to most effectively change the campus landscape. Recently, other student groups have started their own contributions to campus unity and innovation. Most notably, Student Talks, an organization dedicated to student discussions similar to that of Ted talks but on a student basis, has carved a path to begin meaningful discussions on campus. This venue could open the way to a more unified and innovative campus.

Faculty Proposal for Developing Culture of Innovation on Campus:

In the Fall of 2015 there was an assembly of Deans of the individual schools of study to discuss methods of promoting innovation on campus. The main idea conveyed in the meeting was that the movement had to be student led. Unfortunately this movement proposal fell to the wayside under the red tape of running a university. Fortunately, The Brain Trust was recently made aware of the proceedings of this meeting and is currently following up with the Vice Chancellor of IUPUI in an effort to allocate funds and the people needed to make this proposal a reality.

Think It Make It Lab: 

The Herron School of Art and Design has recently spent $1.3 million to design a makerspace known as the Think It Make It Lab. This area houses computers equipped with design software, 3D printers, laser engravers and CNC machinery. Although this space is currently mainly reserved for Art and Design as well as Informatics students; the end goal is to make it available to the general IUPUI student population.

JagStart - IUPUI Student Pitch Competition: 

JagStart is a annual competition where students can pitch their ideas for solving campus, local, national and even world issues. This competition is in elevator pitch format and can be taken on by an individual or a team. It is the hope that this gets students in touch with their more innovative and passionate side. It is a good opportunity to get a small feel of what pitching an idea to an audience is like.

The Indiana University Research and Technology Corporation (IURTC) is an off campus organization that serves as IUPUI's technology transfer office. Whether a student's goal is to commercialize his or her product, secure rights on intellectual property, or to patent an invention, the IURTC helps them accomplish their goals.

Commercialization: The technology commercialization process can be started with IURTC by completing an Invention Disclosure Form that is reviewed and copied to the student's department chair, the dean of their school or college, and the chancellor or provost at their campus.

Startups: The IURTC has helped multiple undergraduate and graduate student run startups get their feet off the ground including:

[http://www.assemblybio.com/ Assembly]: a startup biopharmaceutical company researching treatment for hepatitis B and CDAD Anagin: another start up developing an over the counter medication for PTSD

Software Licensing and Intellectual Property Rights: The IURTC also assists in helping students secure intellectual property rights for ideas that they develop but are unsure of what steps to take next as well as licensing software to companies.

= University-Industry Collaboration =

IUPUI is currently collabortating with active research at the Lugar Center for Alt. Energy Resources. IUPUI's affiliation with the Luger Center for Alternative Energy Research stems from the school's dedication to innovative solutions to enivironmental problems as a research-based institution. In pursuit of alternative energies, student organizations such as The Brain Trust, Sustainability Councils, and SEDS actively attempt to bring student-led initiatives to a public and professional developmental level. Currently in progress is a bid for a self-sustained orbital space station for human life support, programs to increase environment-sustainable awareness in the community, and a project to produce self-contained shipping crate housing solutions for students interested in sustainability, entrepreneurship, and innovation.

= Local Economic Development =

With its urban location, IUPUI not only has strong interior innovation opportunity, but exteriorly, too.  Leaders of Indianapolis have a vision of Indianapolis becoming the "Silicon Valley of the Midwest."  Connecting IUPUI to this ecosystem will provide students with resources and mentors to jumpstart their projects.

'''16 Tech Indy'''

16 Tech is a planned Innovation Community and one of the largest talent attraction, retention and development opportunities in Indianapolis’ history.

The Innovation Community is purpose-built to attract the best talent to collaborate, innovate and commercialize new ideas across a spectrum of advanced industries, including life sciences, technology and advanced manufacturing. The community is built to respond to the way innovation occurs today ─ in open environments where collaboration occurs naturally, while breaking down barriers that sometimes exist in the cross-pollination of ideas across industries.

Innovation communities like 16 Tech draw companies and talent from around the world; they also provide job training and development opportunities for residents of the surrounding neighborhoods. It’s this mix of talent and industry diversity that makes for a truly inclusive and vibrant community for innovation and business and community development.

Like any community, 16 Tech will be a place where people not only work, but live, play and learn. Its millions of square feet of custom, open, modern innovation space is coupled with retail and housing development, generous green space and walking/biking trails for a rich, urban living experience.

IUPUI is just starting to break the surface of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E). Even though we have the seeds of Entrepreneurship sown around our campus in the form of classes and competitions we really don't have a firm basis of innovation. A unanimous agreement between many of the leaders on campus who are currently looking to find ways to help boost student interest and make IUPUI a more I&E conscience campus is the necessary implementation of a "home base" for I&E in the form of Maker Space or an Institute for Innovation.

ns formed died due to minimal attendence. Recently, a devoted group of individuals has come together to create a new innovation based student organization known as The Brain Trust.

The main goal of The Brain Trust at IUPUI is to provide an environment for students to bring ideas into action. Although this student organization has only been around for one year, this small group of students has kickstarted the process of allocating a designated innovation space at IUPUI. Furthermore, they are now in the planning stages with faculty to develop a lasting entrepreneurial structure on campus, and hope to continue to bring students from fragmented backgrounds and disciplines together to focus on singular projects to improve and contribute to IUPUI.

In an effort to initiate the improvement of IUPUI's current innovative mindset, The Brain Trust's first goal was to apply to the University Innovation Fellows program to gain the knowlledge and know how to most effectively change the campus landscape. Recently, other student groups have started their own contributions to campus unity and innovation. Most notably, Student Talks, an organization dedicated to student discussions similar to that of Ted talks but on a student basis, has carved a path to begin meaningful discussions on campus. This venue could open the way to a more unified and innovative campus.

Faculty Proposal for Developing Culture of Innovation on Campus:

In the Fall of 2015 there was an assembly of Deans of the individual schools of study to discuss methods of promoting innovation on campus. The main idea conveyed in the meeting was that the movement had to be student led. Unfortunately this movement proposal fell to the wayside under the red tape of running a university. Fortunately, The Brain Trust was recently made aware of the proceedings of this meeting and is currently following up with the Vice Chancellor of IUPUI in an effort to allocate funds and the people needed to make this proposal a reality.

Think It Make It Lab: 

The Herron School of Art and Design has recently spent $1.3 million to design a makerspace known as the Think It Make It Lab. This area houses computers equipped with design software, 3D printers, laser engravers and CNC machinery. Although this space is currently mainly reserved for Art and Design as well as Informatics students; the end goal is to make it available to the general IUPUI student population.

JagStart - IUPUI Student Pitch Competition: 

JagStart is a annual competition where students can pitch their ideas for solving campus, local, national and even world issues. This competition is in elevator pitch format and can be taken on by an individual or a team. It is the hope that this gets students in touch with their more innovative and passionate side. It is a good opportunity to get a small feel of what pitching an idea to an audience is like.

= University Technology Transfer Functions =

The Indiana University Research and Technology Corporation (IURTC) is an off campus organization that serves as IUPUI's technology transfer office. Whether a student's goal is to commercialize his or her product, secure rights on intellectual property, or to patent an invention, the IURTC helps them accomplish their goals.

Commercialization: The technology commercialization process can be started with IURTC by completing an Invention Disclosure Form that is reviewed and copied to the student's department chair, the dean of their school or college, and the chancellor or provost at their campus.

Startups: The IURTC has helped multiple undergraduate and graduate student run startups get their feet off the ground including:

[http://www.assemblybio.com/ Assembly]: a startup biopharmaceutical company researching treatment for hepatitis B and CDAD Anagin: another start up developing an over the counter medication for PTSD

Software Licensing and Intellectual Property Rights: The IURTC also assists in helping students secure intellectual property rights for ideas that they develop but are unsure of what steps to take next as well as licensing software to companies.

The Herron School of Art and Design has recently spent $1.3 million to design a makerspace known as the Think It Make It Lab. This area houses computers equipped with design software, 3D printers, laser engravers and CNC machinery. Although this space is currently mainly reserved for Art and Design as well as Informatics students; the end goal is to make it available to the general IUPUI student population.

JagStart - IUPUI Student Pitch Competition: 

JagStart is a annual competition where students can pitch their ideas for solving campus, local, national and even world issues. This competition is in elevator pitch format and can be taken on by an individual or a team. It is the hope that this gets students in touch with their more innovative and passionate side. It is a good opportunity to get a small feel of what pitching an idea to an audience is like.

The Indiana University Research and Technology Corporation (IURTC) is an off campus organization that serves as IUPUI's technology transfer office. Whether a student's goal is to commercialize their product, secure rights on intellectual property or a patent an invention, the IURTC helps them accomplish their goals.

Commercialization: The technology commercialization process can be started with IURTC by completing an Invention Disclosure Form that is reviewed and copied to the student's department chair, the dean of their school or college, and the chancellor or provost at their campus.

Startups: The IURTC has helped multiple undergraduate and graduate student run startups get their feet off the ground including:

Software Licensing and Intellectual Property Rights: The IURTC also assists in helping students secure intellectual property rights for ideas that they develop but are unsure of what steps to take next as well as licensing software to companies.

IUPUI is currently collabortating with active research at the Lugar Center for Alt. Energy Resources. IUPUI's affiliation with the Luger Center for Alternative Energy Research stems from the school's dedication to innovative solutions to enivironmental problems as a research-based institution. In pursuit of alternative energies, student organizations such as The Brain Trust, Sustainability Councils, and SEDS actively attempt to bring student-led initiatives to a public and professional developmental level.

= Overview =

IUPUI is just starting to break the surface of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E). Even though we have the seeds of Entrepreneurship sown around our campus in the form of classes and competitions we really don't have a firm basis of innovation. A unanimous agreement between many of the leaders on campus who are currently looking to find ways to help boost student interest and make IUPUI a more I&E conscience campus is the necessary implementation of a "home base" for I&E in the form of Maker Space or an Institute for Innovation. 

= IUPUI Student Efforts =

Student have been pushing for I&E on campus for several years. It has proven difficlult as clubs and student organizations formed died due to minimal attendence. Recently, a devoted group of individuals has come together to create a new innovation based student organization known as The Brain Trust.

The main goal of The Brain Trust at IUPUI is to provide an environment for students to bring ideas into action. Although this student organization has only been around for one year, this small group of students has kickstarted the process of allocating a designated innovation space at IUPUI. Furthermore, they are now in the planning stages with faculty to develop a lasting entrepreneurial structure on campus and hope to continue to bring students from fragmented backgrounds and disciplines together to focus on singular projects to improve and contribute to IUPUI.

In an effort to get the ball rolling from the student end towards improving IUPUI's innovative mindset. The Brain Trust's first goal was to apply to the University Innovation Fellows program to gain the knowlledge and know how to most effectively change the campus landscape. The Brain Trust has also brought a TEDx licence holder to the IUPUI campus named David Miller. He is also a member of the Brain Trust and works passionalty to get thing done.

Faculty Proposal for Developing Culture of Innovation on Campus:

In the Fall of 2015 the was an assembly of the Deans of the individual schools of study, discussing different ways to promote innovation on campus. The main point conveyed in the meeting was that the movement had to be student led. Unfortunately this movement proposal fell to the wayside under the red tape of running a university. Fortunately, The Brain Trust was recently made aware of the proceedings of this meeting and is currently following up with the Vice Chancellor of IUPUI in an effort to allocate funds and the people needed to make this proposal a reality.

Resource:How to promote social entrepreneurship on campus?

2017-01-06T02:47:55Z

14andersonr:

Social entrepreneurship is a rapidly growing venture that encourages growing a profitable business while helping others. When speaking with Grant Jacoby about his efforts at the University of Pittsburgh, he emphasized the numerous opportunities that come from social entrepreneurship and the ways in which he promotes it on his campus. Fellows who want to be true agents of change will be able to utilize this guide to promote profitable business ideas which help their school, community, and the world by making impactful emotional, physical, and environmental differences.

== Social Entrepreneurship ==

Social entrepreneurship (SE) is a concept that refers to a for-profit company with a central and clear social mission. Although the definition and concept of SE are being shaped continuously, the core belief is to contribute to solving issues in the society while generating profit.

Purely entrepreneurial startups prioritize reaching a high potential for growth in the future in an increasingly competitive environment. In contrast, SE startups prioritize remedying a social issue locally or worldwide, whether it pertains to helping the homeless, conservation efforts, or promoting equal rights, by offering relevant products and services.

Over the last decade, several initiatives have been created to elevate social entrepreneurship initiatives. For instance, B Corps are for-profit companies certified by the nonprofit [http://www.bcorporation.net B Lab]to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. As of today, there are 2,003 B corps in 50 countries (B lab, 2017). Joining the B corps community enables companies to have access to an extended network of like-minded companies with whom they can share best-practices. The certification also contributes to the company's marketing efforts by attracting customers, prospective employees, and partners who embody similar values.

One such company is [http://www.threadinternational.com/ Thread], where an acquaintance of Jacoby’s works. The startup is valued very highly but its focus is making clothing out of processed plastic bottles. The clothes are made out of raw material collected from the streets. Plastic bottles are processed in a plant to create fibers that are used to create products. [http://www.seedsgreenprinting.com/ SEEDS]is another example of B corps certified SE startups. The company is a green printing company offering environmentally friendly printing services to its customers from initial concept to final delivery and distribution.

Resource:How to promote social entrepreneurship on campus?

14andersonr:

Social entrepreneurship is a rapidly growing venture that encourages growing a profitable business while helping others. When speaking with Grant Jacoby about his efforts at the University of Pittsburgh, he emphasized the numerous opportunities that come from social entrepreneurship and the ways in which he promotes it on his campus. Fellows who want to be true agents of change will be able to utilize this guide to promote profitable business ideas which help their school, community, and the world by making impactful emotional, physical, and environmental differences.

== Social Entrepreneurship ==

Social entrepreneurship (SE) is a concept that refers to a for-profit company with a central and clear social mission. Although the definition and concept of SE are being shaped continuously, the core belief is to contribute to solving issues in society while generating profit.



Purely entrepreneurial startups prioritize reaching a high potential for growth in the future in an increasingly competitive environment. In contrast, SE startups prioritize remedying a social issue locally or worldwide, whether it pertains to help the homeless, conservation efforts, or promoting equal rights, by offering relevant products and services.

Over the last decade, several initiatives have been created to elevate social entrepreneurship initiatives. For instance, B Corps are for-profit companies certified by the nonprofit [http://www.bcorporation.net B Lab]to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. As of today, there are 2,003 B corps in 50 countries (B lab, 2017). [Talk about the benefits of joining, the taxes and how it’s almost like a nonprofit in the end.]

One such company is [http://www.threadinternational.com/ Thread], where an acquaintance of Jacoby’s works. The startup is valued very highly but its focus is making clothing out of processed plastic bottles. The clothes are made out of raw material collected from the streets. Plastic bottles are processed in a plant to create fibers that are used to create products. [http://www.seedsgreenprinting.com/ SEEDS]is another example of B corps certified SE startups. The company is a green printing company offering environmentally friendly printing services to its customers from initial concept to final delivery and distribution.
