What is The Innovation Center at Saratoga?
Makerspace
This is the foundation upon which all other features and functions of the Innovation Center are created. A makerspace allows you to share equipment and space for your own personal projects or professional development.
Rapid Prototyping & Business Collaboration
The entrepreneur culture is growing in Saratoga County. The Innovation Center at Saratoga, Inc. can provide support to help entrepreneurs with prototyping of parts and products.
Artist Gallery & Business Support
The Creative Economy is growing and we know from over 20 years of working with artists that they need all the support they can get to market themselves and grow as business people, as well as artists. This includes renting artist studios, creating music studios for music teachers to rent for lessons. A dark room and recording studio are also in the plans.
Community Collaboration Space
There is no real open community space in the region where groups can meet to collaborate on projects. Not only can community groups use the open collaboration space, we can work with them on equipment sharing agreements. Our surveys have also indicated artists in the region are longing for networking and places to meet, collaborate, and be inspired by other artists.
Community Education
This space can provide training in basic carpentry and electronics skills. Additionally, the space lends itself very well to:
- Business growth and planning seminars for entrepreneurs and artists
- Shark Tank-like programs and facilities to help hone presentation skills
- Scout badge programs
- School STEAM programs
- Summer camps, specifically focusing on STEM education
- After school programs
“Draw the art you want to see, start the business you want to run, play the music you want to hear, write the books you want to read, build the products you want to use – do the work you want to see done.”
