The Innovation Corps (I-CorpsTM) program, funded by the National Science Foundation, aims to accelerate academic research projects that are ready to move toward commercialization. Through training and mentorship, program participants learn about the commercialization process and test the value of their business idea by talking to potential customers and stakeholders.
In addition to the main program that all participants will take part in, the UW Pacific Northwest program also has two industry-specific tracks – one in HealthTech and another in CleanTech/ClimateTech. These allow participants with innovations in those industries to dive deeper into the specific needs of their fields. Read more about the two tracks in the Program tracks section below.
