ABSTRACT
Innovation and entrepreneurship through science and technology offer new frontiers for research as well as approaches to better serve humanity. Through collaborations between corporations, incubator companies, small business, academia, and not-for-profit entities, important economies of scale, scope, and talent can coalesce for new solutions. Connected innovation describes models to build these collaborations. This paper discusses how collaborative external networking could lead to innovative philanthropic solutions in harmony with the Lasallian mission.
