Abstract - Establishing an institution's excellence requires measuring their innovation and research accomplishments. Tracking, verifying, and evaluating innovation and research output in an efficient manner is currently constrained by a lack of efficient reporting systems and disorganized methods of obtaining the necessary data. The creation of InnovateHub, a web-based, secure, scalable, and cloud-based platform that provides a centralized system for analysing, managing, and visualizing research and innovation throughout the world's education sector. The InnovateHub provides a central location where a single point of access can be used to collect and process all types of innovation and research information via an effective system; an interactive dashboard and analytical visualisation allows users easy access to relevant information. InnovateHub provides a role and permissions-based access control mechanism to preserve the data privacy and accountability of Administrators, Faculty, and Students. InnovateHub also supports Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) using JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for multiple layers of security and verification of user identity as well as One Time Passcode (OTP) confirmed through email, and uses cryptographic hashing to provide a form of security for storing documents and provides a biometric face-based verification system (i.e., facial recognition) to authenticate a user during critical submission phases. Automated certificate generation and contribution recognition mechanisms at InnovateHub provide additional visibility into, and motivation for, users' contributions to the platform. Utilizing the MERN Stack and AWS for Hosting of MERN Stack: Utilizing the MERN Stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) & AWS to Host a MERN Stack Application Innovative Hosting Solutions by AWS Include Amazon EC2 Instances to Host Both the Application Back End as Well as Application Front End Services and Amazon S3 for Secure and Scalable Storage of Research Document & Certificate Generation. Experimental Deployment Indicates Reliable Operation, High Availability and Secure Handling of Data During Real Time Utilization within the Loss Prevention Environment. Innovate Hub Provides Real Time Analytics, Secure Verification & Cloud Scaleability for Institutional Research Governance and the Development of a Data Driven Platform of Continuous Innovation and Growth through the Development of a Data Driven Innovation Platform.
