8. INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP AT WSU

9. Innovation and Entrepreneurship at WSU
Innovation = Invention + Implementation
Innovation is the future delivered; it is the land grant mission
Entrepreneurship = a way of thinking and acting
Imagining new ways to solve problems
WSU supports a culture of impact that embraces and integrates three fundamental academic values:
student education,
exploratory basic research, and
the land grant mission.
WSU will convert discoveries into new products, services, and creative works to improve people’s lives.

10. Growing Research at WSU

Growing Research at WSU
The Innovation Cycle
Deep disciplinary expertise
University research
Translational pathways
Connected expertise
Societal need or pain
Deep disciplinary expertise
University research
Engagement with solving specific problems in the marketplace and in society synergistically creates new research areas and ideas that will require additional further scholarship and discovery.
The positive feedback of this virtuous cycle that connects basic and translational research should be celebrated and recognized as a pre-existing feature of WSU’s land grant mission.
We grow and diversify research by supporting, enabling and connecting faculty and students to the non-academic world.
