Great Plains I-CORP program

The Innovation-Corps (I-Corps) program is a vital part of the National Science Foundation’s mission to create and support a national innovation network. This program offers training to university researchers and community innovators who are interested in entrepreneurship education and mentoring, with the ultimate goal of reducing the time it takes to transform technologies from the laboratory to the market. I-Corps training provides hands-on, practical instruction that enables scientists, engineers, and innovators to assess the commercial potential of their technology, a critical initial step in successfully converting them into products, processes, and services that have a positive impact on society.
