University-Corporation Innovation Lab (U-Corp) is a co-innovation platform established to provide long-term strategic partnerships between innovative organizations/companies and Duke Kunshan University. U-Corp Lab helps innovative organizations/companies develop relationships with the vibrant DKU research and entrepreneurial community and access emerging talent through co-innovation projects. At the same time, DKU students will be involved in co-innovation projects with companies, mastering industry-proven innovation research methodologies through productive practice.
When students are completing the projects, organizations/companies will share their perspectives and corresponding research methodologies in these areas with students, while students will learn to master these methodologies under the guidance of faculty/researcher/industrial experts and combine their expertise and skills to clarify and define the specifics of the innovative project, conduct research, provide insights, and propose creative solutions.
