Innovation Centre
Innovation precinct
A revolutionary new space for research and development activity in the stunning Central Okanagan valley. Situated on a 50-acre parcel of land at UBC’s Okanagan campus in Kelowna, the Innovation Precinct will be a physical and intellectual hub for innovation and expertise.
A dedicated space where the best and brightest minds converge to solve critical challenges and deploy innovative new technology solutions.
Factory of the Future
Integrating advanced manufacturing with basic and applied research, the Digital Learning Factory will feature a fully integrated suite of R&D facilities, academic and industrial infrastructure, and data-rich production facilities in place to lead an exciting revolution of advanced materials manufacturing and aerospace technology.
Akin to a teaching hospital, where research can be directly translated from theory to trial in a real-life production environment, the learning factory will be the first of its kind in Canada.
