Public Interest Partners recognizes the value of student participation in large-scale projects designed to advance social entrepreneurship, which the application of Service Innovation to public interest technology can support. Our plan is informed by six prior student collaboration initiatives and is built around three reinforcing elements developed within the framework of the AI Collab Program of the International Society of Service Innovation Professionals  

1) Student CEOs and Nonprofit Executive Directors – students are positioned not only as project contributors, but as founders of startup concepts aimed at improving academic–industry collaboration among the nonprofit, philanthropic corporate and public sectors.

2) AI Digital Workers – multiple generative AI systems used daily by each student CEO to accelerate research, synthesis, design, and experimentation.

3) Industry Mentors and their AI Digital Twins – industry leaders who mentor student teams while progressively building AI-based digital representations of their expertise to scale their impact.
