The Community Innovation Hub connects Cal Poly Pomona with the Pomona community by fostering creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship, and hands-on learning. The Hub serves as an accessible community space where students, entrepreneurs, local businesses, and residents can develop ideas, build skills, and create meaningful connections.

Supporting Entrepreneurs and Local Businesses: The Hub connects entrepreneurs and small businesses with resources, mentorship, networking opportunities, workspace, and equipment to support business development and growth.

Creating Opportunities for Student Engagement: Students can participate in innovation programs, workshops, community projects, career readiness activities, and experiential learning opportunities that connect classroom knowledge with real-world applications.

Strengthening Community Partnerships: By collaborating with campus departments, community organizations, businesses, and local leaders, the Hub creates programs and events that promote learning, belonging, economic opportunity, and community well-being.

Building an Inclusive Community Space: The Hub welcomes people of all backgrounds to gather, learn, create, share expertise, and participate in activities that encourage connection, collaboration, and lifelong learning.
