The center uses a two-stage process to develop step-out innovations: • De Novo Program: The De Novo Program is a basic research program that tests the technical feasibility of innovative ideas and their potential to meet market needs. The program culminates in the development of a lab-scale prototype or a technology readiness level (TRL) of 1-4. • Sandbox Program: The Sandbox Program is an incubation program that helps to further develop and refine innovative ideas. The program culminates in the development of a field prototype that can be tested with customers in the context of a new business ecosystem. The program involves collaboration with relevant internal stakeholders and is similar to the incubation of a Start-up. The program encourages experimentation and learning from failure, with the goal of ultimately bringing innovations to market or developing them into new businesses for the company.
