Engaged research on people, productivity, place, and policy relating to entrepreneurial capabilities and innovation
About this Collaborative
The Innovation and Entrepreneurship Collaborative is the platform for a cross-faculty centre. Collectively, our work inspires and supports policy, startup support organisations, educators and individuals to increase productivity and create social impact.
We engage in thought leadership, practice and courses relating to a broad range of topics relating to innovation. The common interest is in how people develop the capabilities to increase productivity in context of a place, and how their actions can be shaped by policy. This includes research on entrepreneurship education and the future of work, startups, innovation districts, innovation systems and inclusiveness. Many of our projects have a pathway to impact built-in through collaborating with project funders.
