<span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span>'''Overall Ecosystem '''<br/>'''The University of Portland is developing an innovation ecosystem that includes multi-disciplinary programs and experiential learning spaces such as the Pilot Space, the ThinkTank Innovation Lab, and the Digital Lab. These opportunities promote collaborative experimentation, prepare graduates for 21st century careers, engage students in identifying innovative solutions to social and community problems, and contribute to shaping Oregon’s growing innovation culture.
'''E-Scholars'''<br/><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There is an </span><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Entrepreneurial Scholars Program</span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, which is comprised of a competitively selected group of undergraduate students and teaches the fundamental skillsets of developing a business model, pairs students with a local mentor related to their field, and offers domestic and international travel opportunities to learn about conducting business in diverse markets. Students are responsible for creating a new business venture or social enterprise, as well as implement innovative products and delivery models for these organizations. Every year we also hold a 100k Competition, where students are able to pitch their ideas and ventures to a group of investors for the possibility of receiving funds to support full-scale launch. Students also travel to Colorado for a national elevator pitch competition.</span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">'''Digital Lab '''<br/>'''The Clark Library Digital Lab provides current University of Portland students with the space, equipment, software and support to produce audio, video, photography and design research projects. The lab is a self-service facility staffed with student assistants and a coordinator able to assist users of all abilities.</span>
'''Think Tank'''<br/><span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">We have constructed a brand new </span>[https://www1.up.edu/franzcenter/innovation.html innovation]&nbsp;<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">think tank in the school of business where students can pursue their innovative ideas. It features large whiteboards, collaborative space and a large selection of materials for rapid prototyping.</span>
<span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Staff and faculty regularly are engaged with Portland Development Commission, OHSU ED, Business Oregon (State) and have collaborated on several studies and reports. &nbsp;Student involvement in these activities is anticipated to begin next year. The MECOP program is also growing at the University in order to split engineers senior year into two years and add in two 6 month internships with local companies.&nbsp;</span></span>
