The San Diego Incubator for Innovation offers multiple opportunities for participation.
Community members can join our expanded innovation community at public events, focused on exploring opportunities, generating ideas, new product design and development, prototype testing, and finally, launch!
Innovation Fellows participate in a year-long intensive program, focused on innovation process and skills, put into practice developing new products and services related to water. From October 2013 through October 2014, Innovation Fellows will invest 150 hours, without cost or compensation, to experience this ground-breaking arts-based innovation program.
Advisors bring expertise in various relevant domains—water, business, fundraising, science, technology, the arts, education—to help innovation teams ask the right questions and find useful information. The time commitment may entail one to several hours.
Mentors will coach innovation teams to help them navigate the innovation process, seizing opportunities and avoiding pitfalls. Mentors will not function as team members in executing research and development; they will advise, facilitate, challenge, and guide. Mentoring requires an investment of approximately 40 hours, attending innovation workshops and innovation team meetings.
Partners offer ideas, inspiration, and support in multiple forms: meeting space, materials, food, money, time.
