The IFI is an initiative of Universidad de San Andrés and operates within its institutional structure. It is not an independent company or consulting firm.
A consulting firm diagnoses and recommends. The IFI co-creates and executes alongside the organization. We build capabilities, apply methodologies, and develop solutions in real-world contexts, bringing PhD-level researchers and direct access to UdeSA’s academic ecosystem.
Accelerators typically work with startups. The IFI works with all types of organizations, startups and established ones, that need innovation capabilities or tackle complex challenges. We don't do venture capital, provide funding, or take equity.
A typical research center generates academic knowledge or applied research within a given discipline. The IFI focuses on applied research in real-world contexts, working with organizations facing complex challenges that require a transdisciplinary approach.
