BGU Inaugurates Innovation Labs at WeWork Beer-Sheva
June 27, 2016
BGU has established a unique innovation space for students, alumni and faculty located at the WeWork facility in Beer-Sheva’s Advanced Technologies Park.
BGU Innovation Labs will offer guidance and mentoring for those interested in actualizing their technological and socio-technological ideas at any stage.
Choosing WeWork as the home of the new Innovation Labs will ensure that these burgeoning entrepreneurs have access to the expertise of a host of other professionals such as graphic designers, legal advisors, digital media marketing companies, and many others.
The WeWork Beer-Sheva space is also home to BGU’s Inno-Negev technology accelerator which just completed a very successful first cycle, and is now recruiting for its second from among students and alumni.
In addition, BGU Innovation Labs will offer academic courses and bi-weekly lectures in international entrepreneurship and other disciplines.
In the short time since an initial call for projects in April, 51 students have begun developing ideas at the Innovation Labs.
