The Entrepreneurial University: Integrating Knowledge and Innovation for Impact
Over the past decade, the intensifying societal demand for advanced knowledge and innovation has led to the unprecedented growth of new networks between industry, academics and public agencies. This trend continues unabated as the pursuit of economic competitiveness and the need to alleviate society’s emerging challenges grows. As such, how can the university further mobilise key resources, networks and support to optimize the growth of impact pathways and corridors of innovation? What are the external determinants that actively shape the nature and structure of these collaborations and innovation eco-systems?
This presentation seeks to undertake an assessment of the organisational patterns and the conditions that play an important role in galvanizing effective and rapid knowledge flows to stimulate economically and societally useful innovations. Drawing from examples at Nanyang Technological University, the presentation shall provide models of successful industry-academia-public agency interconnections that have served to create skills, knowledge and innovations of industrial and societal relevance.
