As a center for creativity where innovation and entrepreneurship are intertwined, the Harvard Innovation Labs ecosystem encourages the development of novel ideas, approaches, and technologies that inspire new ventures or ways of thinking that keep companies relevant. While based on the HBS campus, it fuels the entrepreneurial passions of students and alumni across all 13 Harvard schools, illustrating the power of “One Harvard.” The Harvard Innovation Labs—encompassing the student i-lab, Launch Lab X GEO, and the Pagliuca Harvard Life Lab—are where teaching and learning come together, in both the lab spaces and the virtual world, to spark and nurture breakthrough concepts that solve problems and improve lives.

Gifts to the HBS Fund provide the flexible funding needed to launch and sustain innovative enterprises such as the Harvard Innovation Labs ecosystem. The ongoing generosity of alumni and friends affirms its mission—to serve as an educational springboard that fosters peer collaboration beyond the boundaries of a particular Harvard school, enabling innovators to create meaningful impact across industries, sectors, and continents.
