I've been thinking a lot about what an innovation-friendly school looks like and have a few thoughts--and it doesn't just mean building labs or creating more flexible IP licensing schemes.

Technology innovation doesn’t occur in a vacuum. And it is one of the reasons that NYC is developing a vibrant technology community. So we’ve seen an explosion in the number of startup companies and subsequently a huge burst in the number of incubators. It’s clearly a complex topic without black-and-white answers.

Just because you put up a structure doesn't mean it's going to sprout a whole innovation ecosystem. On top of that, they tend to be the locus of innovation networks. If you want to connect to an innovation community, there isn't a better place to start than someone who invests in it. What about your academic programs?
