The National Science Foundation (NSF) I-Corps program delivers an immersive learning experience about how to successfully translate innovations into real-world impact.
LEARN what it takes to commercialize your innovation, along with the barriers to adoption and how to overcome them. DETERMINE the real-world impacts of your research or technology. EXPAND your network with introductions to potential mentors, customers, and investors. INCREASE the commercial potential of your innovation. SAVE years and money by accelerating your understanding of your product, customer, and market. ESTABLISH credibility and a path to the NSF’s national I-Corps program, which provides grants of $50,000 for I-Corps, and subsequent opportunities for SBIR grants and other funding.
To participate in the August Mid-Atlantic I-Corps Customer Discovery Workshops, you must complete the short I-Corps Prep by Wednesday, August 8. You may not apply to the program until you have completed I-Corps Prep.
