How We Started
DePaul’s ID Lab was founded by Dr. Olayele Adelakun based on his research on Information Technology innovation and outsourcing which led to the development of re-defining the University – Corporate relationship. The ID Lab was born and designed to grow into a leading innovation hub in Chicago through a partnership between the University and top companies in the industry through top development, design and data analytics.
