I-Corps Teams

I-Corps Teams are groups that help researchers and entrepreneurs turn innovative ideas into viable products or services. Funded by the U.S. government, these teams include entrepreneurs, technical experts, and business mentors who work together to test market potential, understand customer needs, and identify real-world applications. The program emphasizes practical, hands-on learning to improve the chances of success for new technologies. Essentially, I-Corps Teams guide inventors through the early steps of commercialization, providing the support and insights needed to bring innovations from lab concepts to real-world markets.
