Priorities:Arizona State University Polytechnic Student Priorities
= Overview
= Arizona State University has a slew of impressive innovation and entrepreneurship opportunities with which students may engage themselves. With over 7 majors, across 4 different schools, several certficates, and multiple campuses and satalite research and innovation centers geared towards pushing students towards entrepreneurship, ASU has made it a priority to harness the ideas and talents of its students. The central hub for entrepreneurship at Arizona State University is located online through the Office of Knowledge Enterprise Development. This office spans the resources available on the ASU Tempe, Polytechnic, and Skysong campuses (those most involved with entrepreneurship and technological innovation) as well as other satalite research institutions affiliated with ASU. Information contained on this website includes: *Research at ASU *Technology transfer services and programs *The Entrepreneurship and Innovation Group *Additional services and support for student and faculty entrepreneurs With the new focus of ASU's entrepreneurship programming, the Skysong campus houses the Edson Student Entrepreneur Initiative, a program which produces approximately 20 student-led startups each year. Additional programming, including the Great Little Company Network, have been added to more than double the capacity of Skysong to produce student-led ventures. Skysong is posited as a hub where industry connections, and other ASU networks are leveraged to produce well founded student ventures. Additionally, new focus is being directed towards increasing makerspace and providing access to advanced tools and resources to facilitate venture and product development. A new and very large project, which is still under construction, is the Chandler Innovation Center, based about 40 minutes away from the Tempe campus. Though there appears to be a wealth of opportunities and resources available to students at ASU, their still needs to be a cultural evolution of the student body who are motivated to utilze all of the resources available.= Strategy #1: embed A strong Culture of Innovation and Entrepreneurship
