It serves three main purposes. First, it promotes and facilitates interdisciplinary research that would lead to innovative solutions. Second, it creates opportunities for SBU students, staff, and faculty to share ideas and collaborate in innovation activities. Third, it provides a platform connecting faculty, regional entrepreneurs, and relevant stakeholders to expedite the processes of innovation creation, diffusion and utilization.
