CurrentInnovation Advisory Partners (IAP) was formed in 2012 to bring together a unique group of leaders from science, technology, research and education who can provide singular insight and hands-on strategic support to global clients in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the individual states of the U.S. , especially in the specific instance of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education and thereby the STEM workforce. With a commitment to achieving significant and measurable outcomes, carefully chosen IAP teams provide change-minded clients advice in such areas as research strategy, management, policies and programs, and leadership. IAP founders and associate members are drawn from a diverse portfolio of internationally renowned institutions from both the public and private sectors. They are dedicated to building and supporting alliances between government, industry and academia in order to expand the capacity of leading institutions and educational entities to achieve new levels of success. IAP Partners are particularly sought to design and launch innovative new programs and institutions, typically charged with the purpose of creating substantial economic impact and competitive advantage. In concert with clients, IAP Partners take advantage of their renowned track record in transformational research, new and emerging fields, disruptive technologies and entrepreneurial-minded organization-building. This includes work in IT, biotechnology, energy, the environment, social policy and culture. Recently, IAP members have included a focus on STEM education and now have members with significant experience, including training the trainers and building powerful and effective networks with software tools driven to serve and advance learning and teaching.
