Foundry Program represents a new organizational model of innovation support on the university campus. The Foundry reflects the changing nature of innovation itself in terms of being more:

   Open and collaborative (anyone can participate).
   Global and diverse (smart ideas can come from anywhere).
   Multidisciplinary (different perspectives are encouraged).

The Foundry Program helps create new innovation communities that accelerate the translation of ideas and new technologies into social and economic benefits.
