Facilitating university-industry collaboration
On campus, the department of arts and science has developed spaces for innovation such as, the chemistry and physics laboratories. The engineering department on the other hand has regional partnership with a program called TechShop this is accessible to students of the same college.
Tawazun industrial park plays a crucial role in the economy with access only to industry personnel, but there may be scope for students’ partnership in the near future.
Gitex startup movement, Khalifa fund, and innovation 4 impact are considered sources of funding for entrepreneurs in the region. Innovation to impact is limited to digital entrepreneurs and companies. The government has also started the initiative and launched UAE innovates accessible to all residents of the UAE and a different program called as in5 is also open to students of all majors and entrepreneurs situated in the region.
Mentoring, guidance and advises are accessible to students of all majors and different campuses. On campus programs are known as ADU innovates, ADU idea drop, and the Research and Development centre. The main motivation for this is, that some of the applied research projects could actually become commercial products for start ups. So after the prototype phase Innovation enter could help them with go to market phase.
Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts
The main contribution from ADU is naturally talented graduates for job market. ADU strives to develop student profiles that have the skills and attitudes needed for the future workplace, and for advancing the local economy.The regional economic development programs like in5 and UAE innovates is open to all whether applying through an institute or independently. ADU doesn’t have any official partnership with these programs, but if taken into consideration it may be possible. However, ADU innovation center and faculties inform students about contests and encourage them to apply.
Collaboration is already in place with TechShop but limited to students majoring in engineering. There are regular educational trips held that incorporate innovation as a result of successful companies. At ADU the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs plays a key role in helping students patent their ideas with Takamul program, and cover part of the patenting cost. They also inform and support research applications to national level competitions and sponsorship programs.
