Manifesting Innovation: Co-Creating the Future of the Built World
Chas Peppers, Director, SOM IW & Michael Cascio, Operations & Portfolio Manager, SOM IW
SOM has a 90-year history of interdisciplinary innovation. Three years ago, SOM spun off a new entity (SOM IW) to expand upon this legacy through strategic partnerships aimed at breaking down silos and co-ideating future products, materials, and technologies. We achieve this by partnering with industry experts, leveraging our network and domain expertise, and using our projects to pilot innovations. This session will present how SOM IW operates to achieve these goals and explore collaboration opportunities for the future of our industry.
