2C innovation commons is a connecting space that sparks daily innovative thinking across a collaborative family of industrial brands and their partners. Based in Blacksburg, VA, at the Corporate Research Center (CRC) region of Virginia Tech, we are a team of ideators, conceptors, engineers, scientists, tinkerers, and experimenters that cause ideas to collide and aren’t afraid of the uncertainty that is at the heart of innovative thinking. Our purpose is to partner to create something new that generates long-term value, driven by a vision to be a catalyst by providing space where creativity, collaboration, and invention meet. Our Guiding Principles shout this spirit of exploration in everything we do, from “Don’t marry your first idea” to “Know what you don’t know”. We are ready to move and make innovation infectious with our collective partners. Are you one of us?
