Social Impact
As DKU continues to advance its efforts in innovation and entrepreneurship, social innovation, and hands-on laboratory practice, the university has developed a diversified innovation ecosystem. This ecosystem encompasses the DKU Innovation Incubator (Dii), the Co-Innovate Platform, and a range of Lab/Maker-based experimental projects.
Innovation Week is designed to bring together DKU’s existing innovation resources and showcase, over the course of one week, the complete innovation journey of DKU students—from idea generation and project development to real-world implementation. The event aims to enhance the visibility, impact, and cross-campus synergy of student-driven innovation initiatives.
