Innovation Centre

Be it Satya Nadella, Rajeev Suri or many such global CEOs, MIT has a track record of nurturing global leaders for more than 60 years. This may be mainly attributed to multidisciplinary, multinational, pan India, multicultural environment in the campus enabling all-round development in the student. In addition, freedom for the students has enabled them to have self-discipline, openness to come up with new ideas, to take ownership of their decisions and actions.

Being innovative and creative, every student came up with some innovative ideas to solve some stressful issues of society. Also, the majority of the students had potential to be entrepreneurs.? The Institute felt the need to nurture both these qualities of the students and Institute leadership with input from university, deliberated on this for some time to address implementation aspects. As an outcome of this, the Innovation Center to promote and facilitate Innovation was started in 2007. Further, to take innovative projects to society, 沙巴体育 University Technology Business Incubator (MUTBI) came into existence in 2009. MUTBI is for students, faculty members, alumni of MAHE and for the people of the region.? ?

沙巴体育 Academy of Higher Education, renowned for its commitment to academic excellence, not only prioritizes education but also recognizes the importance of fostering innovation and entrepreneurship. The Innovation Centre serves as a hub for innovative thinkers and budding entrepreneurs, providing a supportive environment to nurture their ideas and transform them into successful ventures.

The Innovation Center provides a variety of resources and conducts various events to promote ideation to startups. The newly opened Idea Café in the Marena Recreational Complex encourages interdisciplinary teams to meet, network and brainstorm complex problems. We have regular seminars and workshops for our aspiring innovators and entrepreneurs to learn new concepts, network and share their ideas and challenges. These evening programs make it convenient for students across all colleges to participate.

Teams formed during ideation are provided collaborative, co-working space at “Excelerate” in the Innovation Center. Removed from the hustle and bustle of hostel life, here students from different MAHE Institutions can develop and test their ideas and turn them into viable projects in this modern co- working facility.

At Makerspace we provide innovators with a wide range of tools and equipment to develop their proof- of-concepts and working prototypes. We also have several 3-D printers as part of our Center for Rapid Prototyping. Promising teams receive seed funding to defray the costs of developing prototypes.

In July 2018, the Innovation Center started the brand new, State-of-the-Art Apple Creative Studio. This is the home of the i0S Software development course offered to MIT and non-technology students as well. We offer training workshops for faculty and students across MAHE. Here students are encouraged to develop App with guidance from faculty trained at the Apple Training Center, Bengaluru, as well as regular interactions with experts from local i0S software companies.

When you are ready to start your own company, our Incubators (MUTBI and the Bioincubator) provide our budding entrepreneurs with all the resources and expertise needed to help them succeed.

The Innovation Centre also hosts a well-resourced Central Instrumentation Facility (CIF) to support multi-disciplinary research areas in emerging frontier fields by our students and faculty. CIF includes large instruments such as Scanning Electron Microscope, Energy Dispersive analysis (EDAX), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NM R), X- Ray Diffractometer, Ion Chromatography, NIR-VIS Spectrophotometer and Nano Fiber Electrospinning Unit. These instruments are useful for interdisciplinary research and innovation in Emerging areas of Material Science, Biotechnology, Printed photovoltaic, Plasmonic biosensors, and others.
