InnovationSpace is an entrepreneurial joint venture among the College of Architecture and Environmental Design, Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering, and W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University. The program involves faculty and students from business, engineering, industrial design and graphic design in a hands-on product-development laboratory.
In the InnovationSpace program, transdisciplinary teams of students work to define new product offerings, develop and refine product concepts, build engineering prototypes, and create business plans and visual materials to communicate the end results. With these in hand, InnovationSpace partners increase the effectiveness of their efforts to transfer or market new product concepts.
The program emphasizes social and environmental responsibility throughout the development process, guiding students to consider the impact of their concepts on people and the environment. In the process, InnovationSpace provides students with the opportunity to conceive and develop new product concepts that create value in the marketplace while also improving society and minimizing impacts on the environment.
