High confidence

The Mason Innovation Exchange (MIX) is George Mason University's innovation hub, combining a makerspace, media lab, and startup incubator in Horizon Hall on the Fairfax Campus. The MIX Incubator provides students, faculty, and staff with dedicated workspace, mentors-in-residence, conference rooms for client presentations and pitch practice, and proximity to prototyping and branding facilities.

Access requires completion of the MIX Student Innovators Launchpad Short Course. The MIX also hosts I-Corps at Mason, pitch competitions, and the Accelerate Student Competition.

The incubator connects participants to the broader Mason Enterprise network, which includes private offices, shared workspace, and experienced mentors across five Northern Virginia locations.
