THE INSTITUTE FOR INNOVATION AND GROWTH

Mission
To increase the exchange of ideas and dialogue between faculty, students and business in the areas of innovation and growth.

Vision
Our vision for the Institute for Innovation & Growth is that it will be the catalyst for enhancing innovation research and education at Olin, benefiting faculty, students and business. To that end, several initiatives will be housed under the IIG umbrella:

An Olin model of Innovation, developed through multi-disciplinary research, review of existing literature and collaborative input from practitioners;
An innovation curriculum, including clusters in Private Equity and Venture Capital, which will provide undergraduate and MBA students with tools to identify innovative solutions, real world experiential learning opportunities to apply those tools, as well as a broad business education;
An Innovation and Growth Seminar Series, featuring experts from around the globe open to faculty, staff, students, alumni and corporate friends;
Sponsored research, which will include both company-specific projects as well as research on broader topics, to ensure that our faculty remain at the forefront of research excellence; and
Conferences, which bring together scholars, students and practitioners from all over the world to share the latest ideas in innovation and growth.
