Colleges are often at the forefront for innovation, with diverse minds coming together to explore new ideas. This culture of untethered exploration is why University of California President Janet Napolitano declares that colleges are the perfect incubators for startups. “Increasingly, public research universities are answering the call to help incubate new ideas and technologies,” writes Napolitano in a blog. Programs that foster innovation and create startups allow students to develop business skills. Since 1968, Napolitano says UC research alone has fostered the creation of 1,300 startups. Thanks to the academic environment and resources available on campus, Napolitano says colleges are uniquely able to help reduce the overhead of startups, ultimately assisting with the success of all involved.
