NSF Innovation Corps

The NSF Innovation Corps (I-Corps) is a program that helps university researchers turn their scientific discoveries into practical products or services. It provides training, mentorship, and funding to entrepreneurs so they can better understand market needs, identify potential customers, and develop viable business models. The goal is to accelerate the commercialization of innovative technologies, making them more likely to benefit society while ensuring that researchers can effectively translate their work from the lab to real-world applications.
