Coordinated by the newly established Office of Innovation, Princeton's campus-wide innovation initiative aims to benefit humanity through innovative discovery and entrepreneurship.
Our faculty, staff researchers, students and alumni combine the pursuit of curiosity-driven knowledge with the desire to solve the major challenges of our time. The Office of Innovation and its divisions nurture this enterprising spirit through our programs, spaces and relationships. We support the Princeton community in their innovation and entrepreneurial goals as they translate their discoveries and inventions into technologies and services that have a positive impact on society.
The Office of Innovation aims to encourage, facilitate and promote innovation, entrepreneurship, and partnerships that will enhance the quality and impact of research and teaching at Princeton University
Craig B. Arnold, vice dean for innovation, heads the Office of Innovation. Arnold and the innovation staff provide academic leadership for innovation and entrepreneurship activities across campus.
Our network of campus Innovation Partners builds greater collaboration among the University offices and entities engaged in innovation and entrepreneurship.
Rapid changes to technology and society are making the connections between world-class research and the innovation ecosystem more important than ever. At Princeton, we are eager to see those connections flourish. Our students and faculty are enthusiastically collaborating with both industry and the nonprofit sector to discover and implement ideas that will help address the world's challenges.
