The Collaboratory is where Dayton's dreamers and doers gather to move innovative ideas to transformative action. We provide infrastructure for people and organizations to collaboratively develop community initiatives that generate new economic, civic and creative opportunities and value. The result is a healthier, more thriving region.
The Collaboratory is a physical place, located in the heart of downtown Dayton. It is designed for interaction and ideation, with three collaboration spaces and 40 feet of white board. In addition, we have three primary areas of activity, all of which unleash potential and move ideas to action:
Community R&D Department
- Developing community initiatives and enterprises that generate new economic, civic, social, cultural and creative opportunities.
Think/Action Tank
- Convening and facilitating transformative conversations around new opportunities for residents, organizations, and the community.
- Providing thought-leadership and offering new perspectives, contexts, frameworks and language around asset-based development.
- Introducing organizations to best-in-class methodologies from around the world and supporting implementation.
Ideas to Action Services
- Offering individuals and organizations a full suite of services to help them move their ideas to action. Our services include: consultation, ideation, networking and connectivity, space rental, partnership cultivation, fiscal agency, creative exchange and convening.
