Stage 2: Incubate

  • An innovative idea has proven potential and is expanded to a pilot deployment
  • Several operating units at UBC are involved in the pilot
  • The innovation technology has passed (and may have been adjusted to meet) gating criteria to ensure possibility of wide deployment in the event of a successful pilot
    • This includes an assessment of the possible cost to operate the technology or service at full institutional deployment
  • Original innovator and UBC IT collaborate to provide and evaluate the pilot deployment
  • Pilot is deployed on UBC IT's operating platform (compute facilities, support resources, communication channels)
