Notes de l'éditeur
- Good morning – thank you for joining us for this workshop on The Future of Academic Incubators.
- We’re talking about academic incubators today because they continue to grow in both student enrollment and square footage, with over 400,000 students taking courses in entrepreneurship and top universities dedicating hundreds of thousands of square feet to incubators. This continued evolution provides an opportunity to design better environments for the next generation of academic incubators, and today’s workshop is intended to jumpstart everyone’s thinking about the possibilities.
- In order to dig into this, we’ll start with a background presentation to get everyone on the same page about the evolution of incubators to date, the current diversity of incubators, and how incubators relate to learning theory. We’ll have everyone work in groups on a short brainstorming exercise, then have leaders of 2 Philadelphia-based incubators share their thoughts before working on a group design exercise. We’ll wrap up by having each group report out and drawing some conclusions.
- Three of us are from the design firm of Dekker/Perich/Sabatini and bring 3 different perspectives on educational design and this issue. I am an Accredited Learning Environment Planner who specializes in education programming and design. Megan is an interior architect with experience in innovative commercial and co-work environments, and Kate is an interior designer with expertise in organizational learning and human behavior.
- We’re very happy to be joined today by 2 local experts from Philadelphia incubators. Neil is the Director of the Corzo Center for the Creative Economy at the University of the Arts, and Chuck is Director of the Baiada Institute for Entrepreneurship at Drexel University.
- There are many definitions of incubators… This one from the National Business Incubation Association captures the core elements – they are designed to support entrepreneurs by providing targeted resources and services to hopefully launch successful businesses into independence.
- The goals of academic incubators, those directly tied to a university, have evolved…. Traditional goals included generating revenue from research produced on campus and contributing to local economic growth. This has expanded to focus on fostering lifelong entrepreneurship and innovation, by helping aspiring entrepreneurs translate their ideas into a business, invention, or social movement, and to learn from both successes and failures. More recently, many universities have seen incubator programs as a way to attract students and serve unmet student needs. Incubators can serve a gap in the education system, to support students that don’t see the relevance of a degree, and would otherwise drop out of school to focus full time on building their startups, without the support that can make a difference in their success… We see the success of an incubator as tied to both successful business launches, and to developing lifelong skills.
- There are many variations, but most incubators provide: Physical space, for student entrepreneurs to work, meet, and create Services, to help students through administrative support, consulting, and sometimes direct financial support Intangible qualities like strategic guidance and a forum for idea exchange and mentorship and Access to a network of other entrepreneurs, experts, suppliers and distributors, and venture capitalists that they may otherwise not have access to
- So, how do incubators differ from other models used in schools, universities, and the commercial sector? Typically, university science and tech parks or research parks are more about attracting business support, benefiting their business partners, and finding students jobs rather than focused on student-run businesses. Accelerators typically take a group of companies through a specific process focused on investment and ROI, and focus on prepping this cohort for a final pitch for funding. Co-Work spaces typically provide a shared working environment for independent business activities, but act as a homebase rather than launchpad, so there is less expectation of formal advising or graduation. Studies have shown that co-work spaces are used most by freelancers and new media businesses. Maker spaces provide tools for hands-on fabrication, experimentation, and prototyping, but are typically not focused on services to launch a business venture. Spatially some of these things can look the same, and they can be components of each other, so you might have an incubator with an accelerator program, or a co-work space that includes a maker space, but they have very different goals. Educationally, incubators are also somewhat related to project-based learning, but with higher stakes in terms of real world risk and reward.
- We can trace the roots of today’s incubators back to the 1950s… This decade saw the first university-owned research park started near Stanford with tenants like Hewlett-Packard and General Electric, the first multi-university partnership in North Carolina started by Duke, NC State, and UNC Chapel Hill, and the first recognized business incubator, the Batavia Industrial Center in NY. Early incubators were mostly about providing affordable office space to startups. This simple focus continued into the 1970s, with a lot of government-sponsored incubators started in response to economic drivers like plant closures, and the Small Business Administration promoting incubator development. Incubators started to focus more on providing useful coaching and services in addition to workspace, which made universities a natural partner. In the last 15 years or so we’ve seen the birth of accelerators, and the birth of formal co-working spaces and their tremendous growth, alongside steady growth of incubators. Today, nearly one-third of North American business incubators are sponsored by academic institutions. This recent period of incubator development shifted the focus to providing access to networks that can help businesses launch successfully. Another shift over this history is that the earliest incubators were typically mixed-use incubators, and many continue to be mixed today, but more recently incubators have targeted specific industries (such as bioscience or arts or software), or a specific audience (such as women or non-traditional students). With these definitions and history in mind, your goal today is to think about the future evolution of academic incubators, and how planning and design can promote innovation while meeting specific needs.
- For those of you in the audience that may not have experience with an incubator before, may be picturing something in California, super tech-y and hip, with bean bag chairs and crazy decorations, and maybe even a bunch of dudes in hooded sweatshirts like that show “Silicon Valley.” Well, it could be that any one of the things on this screen may be the exact right answer to create a successful incubator, but this isn’t the ONLY answer.
- The University Business Incubator index measures the success of incubators worldwide. It’s co-creator Dhruv Bhatli said in 2014 that the top recognized incubators are "not trying to replicate something else like Silicon Valley." What he meant was, those incubators respond to the direct needs and goals of their own organization, and therefore manifest in different ways.
- La Kretz Innovation Campus is a new facility for LA Cleantech Incubator founded by the City of Los Angeles, the LA Department of Water and Power, and the Community Redevelopment Agency of LA to help boost the economy of the city. La Kretz has partnerships with Caltech, UCLA, and USC, but was purposely located in the heart of LA's Arts and Innovation District Downtown as an effort to provide economic stimulus to the area.
- It's a place where entrepreneurs, engineers, scientists, and policymakers can collaborate, prototype, and support the development of clean technologies and LA's green economy. The building includes work and office space, a prototyping and training center, conference room, and amphitheater in an open, exciting, area, and the message behind the organization's goals is celebrated throughout.
- On Northwest Missouri State University's campus, the award-winning Dean L. Hubbard Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship supports both academic and mixed-use incubation endeavors in one facility. Its academic component houses the nanotechnology degree program in classrooms and laboratories, while the incubator side supports several startup companies in office space, lab analysis research areas, a room with $3 million worth of scientific instruments, and a shipping and receiving center.
- Students and public ventures alike can participate in the incubator, which houses mainly technology and science-based businesses. And, being located on campus, can take advantage of faculty research and student employment. One thing that sets the CIE apart is its Analytical Laboratory, which functions as part of the incubator. They have on-site staff offering contract research and development assistance to existing small businesses and encouraging development of a new small business. They even have a full-time professional chemist onsite to help with analytical research as needed.
- Innovate ABQ is a partnership between the University of New Mexico, the City of Albuquerque, and private developers in an effort to boost economy and rejuvenate Downtown through successful startup companies. The Lobo Rainforest is their first ground-up building in a planned new Innovation District between Downtown Albuquerque and the University and is currently under construction.
- Located in the heart of Downtown, the Lobo Rainforest was developed with a concept of Live/Work/Play, where students can experience a 24/7 immersive business and learning environment. The ground level houses an incubator, fabrication labs, offices, and common areas for students and public enterprises. There are also support spaces such as a café and a fitness facility, as well asoutdoor spaces. The upper floors include 2-bedroom student apartments, and common collaboration space on each floor.
- The upper floors include 2-bedroom student apartments,
- and common collaboration space on each floor.
- While Lobo Rainforest is off campus, the brand new Lassonde Studios is in the heart of the University of Utah's campus. Lassonde Studios opened just this fall and is run by the Lassonde Entrepreneur Institute for the School of Business. It is a place where 400 entrepreneurial students from any major background can Live/Create/Launch.
- The ground floor includes a 20,000 sf garage for events, building prototypes, launching companies in the incubator, or just hanging out. It is open to all University of Utah students. This floor is meant to be a hub of activity year-round, with innovation and business plan competitions, product prototyping, guest speakers, food and beverage service, and a place to connect with mentors and leaders in business. Student residents get access to even more services than the garage provides.
- The upper four floors include housing and commons spaces for all of the building's residents. What’s most interesting about these floors are the many options students have about their living environments. Students have a choice of traditional 1 and 2 bed units, loft units with 3-4 reconfigurable beds, or pods. Pod areas on each floor include kitchen, restroom, and common living areas for 20 students, and each of those students then gets a personal pod that include a bed, closet, dresser, and tv each. Steelcase has done extensive research on different work modes people need depending on their personality or the task on which they’re working - Public/Alone, Public/Together, Private/Alone, and Private/Together. The arrangement of these floors allow students to choose the housing environment that best suites their personality or business goals, while still providing many different areas for study and relaxation knowing that even introverts need social and collaborative time, and extroverts need time to focus alone. To give even more choice and room for creative growth, each residential floor is themed to correspond with students' potential interests. There's a games & digital media floor, a sustainability and global impact floor, a design & arts floor, and, being in Utah, and adventure & gear floor.
- So, to quickly review, La Kretz is a multi-agency collaboration between both academic and community organizations, a single focus on cleantech businesses, and is located off-campus. Northwest Missouri State’s CIE is a mixed-use incubator immersed in the middle of campus and academic life. Lobo Rainforest is a 24/7 immersive live/work environment for students in the heart of a business district off campus, while Lassonde Studios is a 24/7 environment for students in the heart of campus life. Another differentiator for incubators are the learning modes used in each, and Kate will talk a little bit about what makes incubators successful for learning.
