NUM Social Innovation Lab (iLab)

The iLab pairs a workshop and seminar space with an incubation studio: a public maker space and resource library where student ventures are built, tested, and mentored.

It runs as an autonomous, experiential unit of the university under NUM’s Chief Innovation & Entrepreneurship Officer, Vice-Rector Stephen Paterson. This is where NUMIC turns classroom ideas into real ventures. It is the home base for the national Business Model Competition (BMC) and the regional Mekong Challenge, and it hosts the MBA in Global Innovation Management.
